Imaging system and control method thereof

摘要

An imaging system includes: an imaging unit that divides an imaging area of a subject into a plurality of blocks and captures images of the blocks; an image processing unit that merges the images of the respective blocks captured by the imaging unit to generate an entire image; a measuring unit that measures a plurality of points on the subject to acquire measured data before an image of the subject is captured by the imaging unit; and a dividing position adjusting unit that adjusts dividing positions of the subject based on the measured data of the measuring points acquired by the measuring unit so that boundaries of the blocks are arranged at positions having smaller spatial variations in values of the measured data. The imaging unit captures an image of each block according to the dividing positions adjusted by the dividing position adjusting unit.

1. An imaging system comprising:
an imaging device that performs a plurality of imaging operations to capture images of a subject arranged on a slide, each imaging operation capturing a respective partial image of a respective corresponding block in an imaging area of the subject, and stores image data in a storage device; an image processing device that merges the plurality of partial images to generate an entire image of the imaging area of the subject; a measuring device that measures a plurality of positions on the subject to acquire measured data; and a controller that sets boundaries between the blocks at positions to minimize spatial variations of the measured data out of the plurality of positions on the subject.
