Zusammenfassung:A method for adjusting a flow rate of a fluid line, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of pixels of interest within an image including a drip chamber; determining a subset of pixels 5 within the plurality of pixels of interest, wherein each pixel of the plurality of pixels of interest is determined to be within the subset of pixels when there is a path to a baseline corresponding to the drip chamber; and estimating a volume of a drop within the drip chamber in accordance with the plurality of pixels of interest.
