    Abstract: Methods for characterizing fluids from a patient. A time series of images of a conduit are received, and a conduit image region in the images is identified. A flow type of the fluids passing through the conduit may be classified as one of air, laminar liquid, and turbulent liquid by evaluating an air-liquid boundary of the fluid. A volumetric flow rate of the fluids in the conduit is estimated. The volumetric flow rate may be based on the classified flow type. A concentration of a blood component of the fluids passing through the conduit may be estimated based on the images. A proportion of the fluid that is blood may also be determined, and a volume of blood that has passed through the conduit within a predetermined period of time may be estimated based on the estimated total volumetric flow rate and the determined proportion.

    Abstract: A method for estimating extracorporeal blood volume in at least a portion of a physical sample. A feature is extracted from an image of the physical sample. The extracorporeal blood volume in the portion of the physical sample is estimated. The estimation may be based on the extracted feature and at least one of the estimated distance and the estimated angle between a capture origin of the image and the portion of the physical sample based on a returned signal transmitted from a distance sensor. The estimated extracorporeal blood volume may be displayed on a display, such an augmented reality overlay in which the image of the portion of the physical sample is displayed with at least one of the estimated extracorporeal blood volume or a sample counter. The sample counter may be indexed for the physical sample after estimating the extracorporeal blood volume.

    Abstract: A system performs a method for processing an image of a machine-readable code. The method includes receiving an image of a machine-readable code comprising coded information, where the machine-readable code is at least partially obscured by a substance that has a predominant color; generating an adjusted image by adjusting a color space of the image based on the predominant color; binarizing at least a machine-readable code region of the image, wherein the machine-readable code region of the image depicts the machine-readable code; and decoding the binarized machine-readable code region to determine the coded information. Other apparatus and methods are also described.
