Methods for enhancing image quality

摘要

A magnified image is improved by integrating the wavelength specific component into that image. A magnified images obtained, and at least one wavelength specific component images also obtained. The different images are converted in color space, and different channels, indicative of the different parts of the image shows, are also obtained. For example, the image may be converted to an L*a*b* color space, and the luminance channel of the wavelength specific component may be used to enhance or replace the luminance channel of the magnified image.

1. A method of enhancing a digital image, comprising:
using a multi-spectral imaging system to obtain a first digital image comprising a microscope image indicative of a sample, and a second digital image indicative of the same sample but which covers substantially only a single spectrum; dividing the first digital image into component parts indicative of the first digital image; dividing the second digital image into component parts indicative of the second digital image; and enhancing the image quality of the first digital image by replacing one of the component parts of the first digital image with a corresponding component part of the second digital image.
