Abstract:
The invention provides for a medical instrument for examining the cervix comprising an optical examination system, a processor for controlling the medical instrument, and a memory containing machine executable instructions. Execution of the instructions causes the processor to: acquire a cervical image using the optical examination system; calculate a set of interest point locations using a digital filter; calculate a filtered set of interest point locations using the set of interest point locations and a morphological filter; calculate a reduced set of interest points locations using the filtered set of interest point locations and a neighborhood based filter; calculate a classified set of interest point locations reduced set of interest points and a trained classification module; calculate a set of punctation locations using the classified set of interest point locations and a second neighborhood based filter; and calculate punctation mark regions using the punctation point locations.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for an intelligent autofocus method and device for a digital pathology image, method are device are able to couple a feedback from the behaviour of the user, for example by gaze tracking arrangement, to the actually focal representation of an image and adjust the imaging setup accordingly with regard to the focal plane. The adjustment is performed in such a way that the focal plane is selected which optimizes and sharpens the actual object of interest which was previously determined.
