<p>Reference information (15) for a biological slide (11) is obtained. The reference information (15) normalizes the measured object features (19). Calibrated feature measurement (21), not based on absolute measurements, self-adjusts to match the situation of each slide (11), where each slide (11) is characterized by the reference information (15). The reference may be different from slide to slide because of the preparation variations. The calibrated features (21) will not carry the interslide variations. In addition, the reference information (15) provides a good indication of the slide condition such as dark stained, air dried, etc. which can be used as slide features (21) for the specimen classification. No alteration of the current practice of specimen preparation is required. The many slide context dependent features (21) improve the classification accuracy of the objects in a specimen (11).</p> |
