This paper describes the IT convergence system using a difference image, an erosion operation and a mobile application for the measurement of the dripping speed of the medical liquid in a drip chamber, which can estimate the remaining time using image processing from video frame information based on Android technology. The video frames were first made using a smartphone camera and we calculated the difference image between the n image and the (n+1) image and then changed into binary images using the threshold value. At this point, it is very important to find an optimal threshold value to recognize the dripping of the liquids. After that, we applied the erosion operation with threshold to detect the handshaking error of the smartphone camera. As a result, the user can adjust the dripping speed according to the doctor’s prescription, exactly like watching the progress bar of a mobile application. The experiment results show that our method using image processing technique accurately measures the dripping speed for a wide range of speeds that are sufficient for ordinary practice.
