Particle scatter diagram sorting technique based on iteration
Technical field
The present invention relates to detection of particles technical field, especially relate to a kind of method that particle scatter diagram nicety of grading is improved by iteration.
Background technology
Detection of particles instrument is used for carrying out classified statistic, such as blood cell analyzer to various particles, and its major function is exactly to provide the number of various types of cells in human body, is basic function wherein to the counting of all kinds of leukocyte.Make after agent treated, by the coated leukocyte of liquid one by one pass through detection zone(Flow chamber), laser is irradiated on single cell, by collecting refraction or the scattering light of different angles(It is usually forward scattering light FSC, side scattered light SSC)Pass through opto-electronic conversion and AD conversion again, obtain one group of 2-D data of corresponding cell, this 2-D data is mapped in coordinate system, position in two-dimensional coordinate system for this cell can be obtained, all leukocyte in sample are mapped to can obtain the leukocyte scattergram of two dimension, abbreviation scatterplot on coordinate.
In scatterplot, together, inhomogeneous leukocyte is disconnected from each other, as shown in Figure 1 for of a sort leukocyte recruitment.Multiple regions are divided on scatterplot, is classified as same class falling in the leukocyte of uniform areas, and counts the particle data in these classifications and percentage ratio, the one-tenth for analyzing tested sample is grouped into.
Typically require in addition to the particle of the effective needs classification shown in Fig. 1, in the particle scatter diagram of classification, also include some invalid information, i.e. blood shadow part in Null Spot, such as cellanalyzer leukocyte scatterplot, inactive area as shown in Figure 2.These Null Spots can produce impact to the result of particle classifying, especially when Null Spot is more, the precision of classification can be produced and significantly affect, even result in the wrong identification of whole particle group.Often there is dispersibility and unstability in these Null Spots, that is, for different inputs, the position of inactive area, shapes and sizes are all slightly different, and is therefore only capable of determining invalid particle area by the method estimated.
The sorting technique of traditional particle scatter diagram typically first estimates inactive area, is separated, then carries out the classification of particle group.In view of the dispersibility of Null Spot distribution mentioned before and unstability, direct estimation Null Spot distributed areas are more difficult, and estimated result accuracy is relatively low, thus leading to mistake to be classified.

Specific embodiment
Null Spot distributed areas are identified as the invalid distribution being often as this kind of particle and not concentrate, and are not enough to classify, or the classification results of this kind of particle no essential meaning when analyzing this particle scatter diagram.In fact, Null Spot is also to be formed by particle, exists between the distribution of Null Spot and other classification and necessarily contact.Therefore, the classification results of effective coverage contribute to defining of inactive area.
As shown in figure 3, specifically, the present invention provides one kind to be applied to particle analyzer, the method in order to improve particle scatter diagram nicety of grading, comprises the steps:
Step S11, according to particle the scattered light signal in different angle of scatterings(As forward scattering light FSC and side scattered light SSC)Generate predecessor scatterplot(Non-classified scatterplot), than as shown in Figure 2 with the leukocyte scatterplot of cellanalyzer.
The position of particle inactive area in step S12, according to a preliminary estimate particle scatter diagram, and by the separate particles in inactive area.Separation method is such as:By the population zero setting in inactive area.
This step does not need to accurately calculate the position of inactive area it is only necessary to provide approximate region, to reduce the interference to classification results for the inactive area.Taking the leukocyte scatterplot of cellanalyzer as a example:Main impact classification results are blood shadow regions, see inactive area I in Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is that comparatively ideal leukocyte particle scatter diagram classifies schematic diagram it can be seen that the particle of inactive area is only intensive in lower left quarter, and other region populations are less, classification results affected less.
Therefore, in step s 12, the estimation of inactive area is only needed generally to exclude the dense particles of lower left quarter.In one embodiment, after leukocyte scatterplot being carried out according to a preliminary estimate, substantially mark off inactive area.Such as, inactive area can tentatively delimit inactive area simply by horizontal linear LA and this two lines of vertical line LB, as shown in Figure 4.The method for determining position of horizontal linear and vertical line can pass through the height of scatterplot respectively and width calculation obtains, but is not limited to the method.
Step S13, on the scatterplot eliminating inactive area, particle is classified(Such as pass through K-Means clustering algorithm), and obtain the statistical information of each classification., the statistical information of each classification mainly has other statistical information in the position of centre of gravity of each particle classifying and all directions, the such as axial length of cluster group taking cellanalyzer as a example.
Step S14, using each particle classifying calculating statistical information, the estimation position of inactive area of particle, shapes and sizes again, so that it is determined that inactive area.Different to the simple estimation of inactive area from step S12, this estimates the statistical information based on particle classifying, it is possible to obtain more accurately estimate.The statistical information of each particle classifying of scatterplot and the relation of inactive area, need to set up model according to the specific features of scatterplot.Such as, as Fig. 5 shows, the circular arc portion L11 of the boundary line of inactive area can be calculated by the statistical information classified in Fig. 4 lower left region and obtain(Scatterplot lower left quarter is projected to y-axis, form projection histogram, lower-left cluster group and blood shadow compact district below will be formed on the histogram bimodal, find the demarcation line that valley can obtain between this cluster group and dead space, position of centre of gravity and vertical axial length in conjunction with this cluster group can obtain the center of circle and the radius of this circular arc);The height of gable L12 of the boundary line of inactive area is related to the lower limit of classification above delta-shaped region, and the lower limit of this classification can be calculated by the statistical information of this classification and obtain(Be mutually perpendicular to by two that this cluster is rolled into a ball and cross center of gravity axle length, in conjunction with this classification position of centre of gravity, it is possible to obtain this cluster group lower limit, that is, in y-axis minimum be likely to occur unknown);The left hypotenuse original position of gable L12 and slope are all related to the statistical information of two classification in the left side(The slope linear correlation of the two classification center of gravity lines in the slope of left hypotenuse and the left side, original position can be calculated by the slope of two classification center of gravity lines of position of centre of gravity and the left side of the two classification any of which classification in the left side and obtain);The original position of right hypotenuse of gable L12 and slope are all related to the statistical information of surface classification(The position of centre of gravity linear correlation of classification above the original position of right hypotenuse and trigonum, the slope linear correlation of the slope of right hypotenuse and top classification major axis).Above-mentioned model is only applicable to the scatterplot that the scatterplot shown in Fig. 5 and same particle detection systems generate, and the statistical information of each particle classifying of scatterplot and the relational model of dead space are not limited to the method.
Step S15, according to step D gained information, again will isolate, in original scatterplot, the inactive area that invalid particle is located, reacquire the statistical information of each particle classifying, concrete grammar is with described in step S13.The raising of the accuracy due to estimating to inactive area, the accuracy of classification results is also improved.
Step S16, judge the statistical information of each particle classifying and last iteration after current iteration after the difference of statistical information of each particle classifying whether be less than threshold value, if so, then proceed to step S17, otherwise proceed to step S14.
Step S14 and step S15 can repeat, pass through to improve classification results accuracy, improve the accuracy that inactive area is estimated, pass through again to improve the accuracy that inactive area is estimated, improve the accuracy of classification results, gradually improve nicety of grading in iteration, after the population of each classification and last iteration after this iteration, the difference of the population of each classification is less than a threshold value(Threshold value is a fixed value set in advance)Then it is assumed that classification is stable, iteration output category result are terminated by step S17.
Step S17, termination iteration output category result.
As shown in fig. 6, corresponding, invention additionally discloses a kind of particle scatter diagram categorizing system based on iteration, it includes:Preliminary classification processing module 11 for execution step S12;Classification information statistical module 12 for execution step S13;Precise classification processing module 13 for execution step S14 and step S15, this precise classification processing module 13 carries out after invalid separate particles to the inactive area of accurate estimation, and still again particle is classified by classification information statistical module 12 and obtained with the statistical information of each classification;Comparison module 14 for execution step S16, after the population of its each classification after judging current iteration and last iteration, the difference of the population of each classification is less than threshold value, then think that classification is stable, iteration output category result are terminated by classification results output module 15, otherwise control tactics Information Statistics module 12 is iterated to particle scatter diagram operating again.
The invention provides improving, in order to automatic, the method that particle scatter diagram inactive area estimates accuracy and particle classifying precision, reducing artificial modeling with the accurate difficulty estimating inactive area, being effectively improved stability and the accuracy of particle scatter diagram classification.
