Project Summary

Summary

Vein pattern recognition is one of the most popular biomedical applications. There is a need to develop vein detection devices which can clearly show veins. Human eyes can only detect visible light that occupies a very narrow band from 400 to 700nm of the spectrum. A spectral window
exists from 700 to 900nm where light can penetrate deep into the tissues. The wavelength of the infrared (IR) light beam coming out from a light source is selected to be around 850nm. Some of the old techniques are: ultrasound, chemical method. The camera sensor has been used to come across infrared radiation to take the vein photos. With the addition of an image processing process, the vein shape obtained is more useful for venipuncture or needle insertion.

Project Objectives

Objective

---

Our objective is to design an autonomous system that will locate blood vessels, making needle insertion as accurate as possible, based on Python Programming Language and Tmage Processing with Infrared Radiations.

Project Implementation Method

Methodology

---

We illuminate a method of sensing a vein in real time with consecrations from python to prevent or reduce the amount of imminent tragedies for patients when injecting the syringe by the physician into their everyday life. A NoIR camera displays the anatomy of the vein in a distinct manner using the contrast reduced adaptive histogram equalization system past infrared (NIR) illumined blood tissue haemoglobin and to record the image. This simple approach can also lead to the hunt for blood stains, headache and so forth. This method is often referred to as "True-Day-Night" (TDN) as it produces true colored pictures throughout the daytime, & black/white night-mode pictures at night.

Benefits of the Project

Social aspects of the Project

---

Mobile health (m-health) is an emerging innovation field that is offering a range of promising solutions geared to improving health management with the potential to bring advantages into clinical medicine and healthcare.

• Infravein helps healthcare professionals locate veins for blood draw.
• Blood donation by generating a pattern of blood vessels on screen that reveals the position of veins.
• Child can be challenging because their veins may be difficult to locate. We take extra care with our pediatric patients and our device help us provide another personalized touch to aid in their comfort.
• Patient satisfaction is front in the minds of hospital staff.
• Our device helps them to maintain this satisfaction.
• Since venipuncture is the most common invasive medical procedure, it is crucial that hospitals are getting the combined benefit of improved patient care and cost savings by deploying Infravein for vein visualization.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Technical Details

Hardware details

• Raspberry Pi 3b+

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi 3 range, boasting a 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4GHz, dual-band 2.4GHz. and 5GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, faster Ethernet, and PoE capability. via a separate PoE HAT.

• Customed IR illuminator

Active Infrared Illuminators is a device that emit light in the infrared spectrum. We use IR Light to Improve Peripheral Subcutaneous Vein Selection for Phlebotomy.

• NoIR Camera

The Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera v2 is the official “night vision” camera board released by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.The Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module v2 is a high quality 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor custom designed add-on board for the Raspberry Pi, featuring a fixed focus lens. The NoIR Camera has No InfraRed (NoIR) filter on the lens which makes it perfect for doing Infrared photography and taking pictures in low light (twilight) environments.

• Pi LCD

It features a 3.5" display with 480x320 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay, but is only slightly larger than our popular original. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc.

Software details

Python programming language is used for image processing which includes AHE, Median filtering, Grayscale conversion etc.
