  • Systems, devices, and methods for providing feedback on and improving the accuracy of super-resolution imaging
    Patent number: 11948270
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for feedback on and improving the accuracy of super-resolution imaging. In some embodiments, a low resolution image of a specimen can be obtained using a low resolution objective of a microscopy inspection system. A super-resolution image of at least a portion of the specimen can be generated from the low resolution image of the specimen using a super-resolution image simulation. Subsequently, an accuracy assessment of the super-resolution image can be identified based on one or more degrees of equivalence between the super-resolution image and one or more actually scanned high resolution images of at least a portion of one or more related specimens identified using a simulated image classifier. Based on the accuracy assessment of the super-resolution image, it can be determined whether to further process the super-resolution image. The super-resolution image can be further processed if it is determined to further process the super-resolution image.
