Data Management in a Linear-Array-Based Microscope Slide Scanner

摘要

Systems and methods for capturing image data using a line scan camera. In an embodiment, a line scan camera captures image data of a sample as a plurality of image stripes. A processor may coarsely align two or more of the plurality of image stripes according to a synchronization process while the line scan camera is capturing at least one of the plurality of image stripes. Subsequently, the processor may also finely align the two or more image stripes using pattern matching.

1. A system for capturing image data using a line scan camera, the system comprising:
an objective lens positioned for viewing at least a portion of a sample during constant relative motion; a line scan camera optically coupled to the objective lens and configured to capture image data of the sample as a plurality of image stripes; and at least one processor configured to,
while the line scan camera is capturing at least one of the plurality of image stripes, coarsely align two or more of the plurality of image stripes according to a synchronization process, and,subsequently, finely align the two or more image stripes using pattern matching.
