    摘要: A character reading technique recognizes character strings in grayscale images where characters within such strings have poor contrast, are variable in position or rotation with respect to other characters in the string, or where portions of characters in the string are partially obscured. The method improves classification accuracy by improving the robustness of the underlying correlation operation. Characters are divided into regions before performing correlations. Based upon the relative individual region results, region results are combined into a whole character result. Using the characters that are read, a running checksum is computed and, based upon the checksum result, characters are replaced to produce a valid result.

    摘要: Coverslip detection locating all four coverslip edges. A field of view processor receives image data from a charge coupled device camera. The charge coupled device camera images a slide and coverslip that is mounted on a movable frame. The slide and coverslip are illuminated from below with a uniform light source. The moveable frame is under computer control and moves in response to the field of view processor. The field of view processor locates the coverslip by first positioning the movable frame to view a portion of the slide on a predetermined potion of the slide within a predetermined area of the slide. The slide is then re-imaged after the movable frame moves the slide toward a chosen edge of direction. Edge type objects are located and followed over multiple fields of view. If the edge object satisfies a set of predetermined criteria the coverslip edge has been found. The edge is extended to find all four corners of the coverslip. The edge objects are processed using morphological operators.

    摘要: Field of views of a slide are examined to assess the likelihood of existence of detectable single cells, groups, and thick groups of cells to locate objects of interest by an automated microscope. The FOV features consists of features selected from the distribution profiles of size, shape, layout arrangement, texture and density of all objects within a FOV which are compared against pre-determined criteria. Each field of view is assigned a likelihood value based on FOV features. Areas that are blank, or contain air bubbles, or are too dense for analysis are identified and excluded for further analysis. Each FOV is ranked according to its likelihood of containing SIL (Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion) cells or cell groups of interest. These results, such as SIL, single cell ranking, group ranking are used to arrange the further examination of FOVs in a priority order.

    摘要: A two pass Zone Of Influence (ZOI) creation method creates a Zone Of Influence (ZOI) image. The two pass ZOI creation method performs a first pass scan to create a first pass intermediate distance image and a shortest distance component label image. It then performs a second pass scan using the first pass intermediate distance image and the shortest distance component label image to create a background distance transform image and a updated shortest distance component label image. An adaptive image region partition method allows distance lengths of the two pass adaptive ZOI creation method depend on their associated component labels.

    摘要: A regulation method for decision tree construction is described wherein decision rules can be automatically adjusted between crisp and soft decisions. Starting with a conventional decision tree, additional statistics are stored at the terminal and non-terminal nodes during training and used during application to new samples. The regulation process allows automatic determination of tree structure. It also allows incremental updating of a regulation decision tree with graceful change to classification performance characteristics. Compound regulation decision trees are described for use to update the decision structure when new training input samples include new classes. Methods for pruning regulation decision trees, for focusing regulation decision trees, for determining optimal depth and regulation parameters and for determining optimal sample weighting are taught.
