Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining presence of fluid or air in a non-opaque tube in a pharmaceutical preparation device. The system includes a processing circuitry (PC). The PC is configured to: receive a camera image of the non-opaque tube, the non-opaque tube being positioned, from a camera perspective, in front of a patterned background, the received image thereby depicting one or more regions of the non-opaque tube, wherein each region is associated with a respective degree of refraction of the patterned background; and identify, using image processing techniques, in the received image, one or more of the regions of the non-opaque tube; and determine from, at least, one or more of the identified regions, a content characteristic of the non-opaque tube.
