Resumo(s)
The current study proposes an automatic method for the segmentation and tracking of red blood cells
flowing through a 100- m glass capillary. The original images were obtained by means of a confocal system
and then processed in MATLAB using the Image Processing Toolbox. The measurements obtained with the
proposed automatic method were compared with the results determined by a manual tracking method. The
comparison was performed by using both linear regressions and Bland–Altman analysis. The results have
shown a good agreement between the two methods. Therefore, the proposed automatic method is a powerful
way to provide rapid and accurate measurements for in vitro blood experiments in microchannels.
