Patent number: 8582924Abstract: Disclosed is an imaging system that stores and retrieves very large scanned digital images, as in applications that automatically scan biological samples using a computer-controlled digital camera microscope. Slide data is entered, zelle data is captured and compressed and a zelle database file is loaded. Furthermore, an image database file is loaded and it is determined whether another zelle is to be stored. The image can be retrieved by accessing the zelle database, reading a zelle record, reading an image file, loading the display buffer, and determining whether another zelle is to be loaded.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbHInventors: Jose De La Torre-Bueno, Cynthia B.

Patent number: 8369591Abstract: Systems and techniques to acquire image data. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: acquiring image data for a plurality of areas of a scan region. The technique may further include processing the image data to determine whether an area includes one or more desired features. The technique may further include designating an area as “interesting” if it includes a desired feature, and designating an area as non-interesting if it does not include the desired feature. The areas may be sub-divided one or more times, and subdivisions may be analyzed to determine if they include a desired feature.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Carl Zeiss Microimaging GmbHInventors: Cynthia B. Perz, Jose De La Torre-Bueno, Robert T. Ellis, Gina Marie McLaren, Mary Jean Smith

Patent number: 8295562Abstract: A system of compensating a medical image to make it look like it came from either a different camera or from using a different dye or stain. The medical image is obtained and then processed using characteristics of the non-image related parts of the image. These non-image related parts can include the dye that was used to dye the image or the camera that was used to obtain the image. Then, the raw or partially raw image can be reprocessed using characteristics of the different non-image related part. For example, in one embodiment, the image is deconvolved to remove the influence of the camera that actually obtained the image, then reconvolved with information indicative of a different camera. In this way, the image is processed to make it look like it came from a different camera than the one that actually did in fact form it.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Carl Zeiss MicroImaging AIS, Inc.Inventor: Jose De La Torre-Bueno

Patent number: 8179575Abstract: Systems and techniques for chromatic distortion reduction. Relative chromatic distortion information for an imaging system may be obtained, where the relative chromatic distortion information indicates relative displacement of a first color signal and a second color signal from a reference color signal in an image. The relative chromatic distortion information may be used to modify image data.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbHInventor: Jose De La Torre-Bueno

Patent number: 8116543Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to intelligently directed segmentation analysis for automated microscope systems. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes obtaining an image of at least a portion of a scan region including a biological specimen, partitioning the obtained image into zelles, determining one or more parameters of the zelles, performing a cluster analysis on the one or more parameters of the zelles, differentiating tissue of greater interest from tissue of lesser interest in the obtained image based on the cluster analysis and based on a test being performed for the biological specimen, and storing more information for the tissue of greater interest than information for the tissue of lesser interest. The cluster analysis can be a multivariate statistical cluster analysis, and the zelles can be test-dependent zelles (e.g., having dimensions defined according to the test being performed for the biological specimen).Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2009Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbHInventors: Cynthia B. Perz, Robert T. Ellis, Jose De La Torre-Bueno
