<p>A system to determine biological specimen slide preparation type (20) and a system to perform automated slide preparation type based classification and analysis. An automated biological specimen analysis system obtains an image of a biological specimen slide (12). The image is processed to compute a number of analysis scores (86) from portions of the image of the biological specimen slide. Geometric features (22) and texture features (28) are derived from the image of the biological specimen (12). Patterns (106A, 106B, 106C,) based on the known biological specimen slide preparation types are compared to the map. A ratio of the number of map elements containing specimen shape to the total number of map elements forms a figure of merit. The system may also confirm a manual determination of slide preparation type (20) and provide error warnings if inconsistencies are found.</p> |
