ABSTRACT:
A method for single image based image contrast quality evaluation is used in a computer controlled image system including an automated microscope for acquiring images. An image is acquired. An image contrast score is computed for the image. An image reliability score is computed for the image. The image contrast score and image reliability score are accumulated and combined to produce a contrast quality score. The contrast quality score is compared to a predetermined limit so as to produce a quality of processing result.
