Abstract: A method is described for generating a prediction of a disease classification error for a magnified, digital microscope slide image of a tissue sample. The image is composed of a multitude of patches or tiles of pixel image data. An out-of-focus degree per patch is computed using a machine learning out-of-focus classifier. Data representing expected disease classifier error statistics of a machine learning disease classifier for a plurality of out-of-focus degrees is retrieved. A mapping of the expected disease classifier error statistics to each of the patches of the digital microscope slide image based on the computed out-of-focus degree per patch is computed, thereby generating a disease classifier error prediction for each of the patches. The disease classifier error predictions thus generated are aggregated over all of the patches.

Abstract: A method of imaging an interior of an eye includes illuminating the interior of the eye with one or more beams of light from a light source, and said illuminating is configured to trigger a change to a pupil of the eye. An image sensor captures a sequence of images of light reflected by the interior of the eye during an expected timeframe when a width of the pupil is changing in response to said illuminating. A processing apparatus combines images in the sequence of images to form a composite image having a larger depth of field than a depth of field of each of the images in the sequence of images. The depth of field for each of the images corresponds to the width of the pupil when each of the images is captured.
