Abstract
Systems and methods for automated detection and classification of objects in a fluid of a receptacle such as, for example, a soft-sided receptacle such as a flexible container. The automated detection may include initiating movement of the receptacle to move objects in the fluid contained by the receptacle. Sequential frames of image data may be recorded and processed to identify moving objects in the image data. In turn, at least one motion parameter of the objects may be determined and utilized to classify the object into at least one of a predetermined plurality of object classes. For example, the object classes may at least include a predetermined class corresponding to bubbles and a predetermined class corresponding to particles.
