ABSTRACT:
The detection of optical stripes on an image of a glass slide of material of interest. An automated microscope system with an illuminator having a spatial intensity homogenizer provides spatially uniform illumination of a microscope slide specimen. Periodic optical patterns formed from the illumination system are detected by a computer system. The computer forms a high transmission mask of an image of the biological specimen. Edges in the image are detected and a low transmission area process is performed. Horizontal stripes are enhanced. A final thresholding generates a binary image of the patterns. Stripes in the patterns are detected an a stripe flag and strip area are calculated.
