Patent application number | Description | Published |
20140233816 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BACKGROUND SUBTRACTION IN AN IMAGE - A method for improving image quality is provided. The method includes receiving image data of a substrate, wherein the image data is generated by imaging the substrate, and an image is generated from the image data. The method further includes generating a background representation from a background noise portion of the image, wherein the background portion includes signal information undesired for further processing and generating a background subtracted image by subtracting the background rep resentation from the image. In this way, a separate background image is not needed to subtract the background from the image including the regions-of-interest to improve image quality. | 08-21-2014 |
20140294268 | Methods and Systems for Streamlining Optical Calibration - A method for calibrating a biological instrument is provided. The method comprises the steps of acquiring an image of at least one biological sample array, determining a first region of interest within the image, wherein the first region of interest comprises a first plurality of locations on the at least one biological array; and identifying within the first region of interest, a plurality of image elements associated with each of the first plurality of locations on the at least one biological array. | 10-02-2014 |
20150142323 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING AN AMPLIFICATION QUALITY METRIC - According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for providing a amplification quality metric to a user is provided. The method includes receiving amplification data from an amplification of a sample to generate an amplification curve. The amplification curve includes an exponential region and a transition region. The method further includes determining a first value of the transition region and determining a second value of the transition region. The first value is the beginning of the transition region and the second value is the end of the transition region. Next, the amplification quality metric is calculated based on at least the first value and the second value. Then, the amplification quality metric is displayed to the user. | 05-21-2015 |
