Apparatus and method for inline detection and modification of suboptimal scan views of a plurality of consecutive images

An apparatus for inline detection and modification of suboptimal scan views of a plurality of consecutive images, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• at least an imaging device configured to capture a plurality of consecutive images;
• at least a computing device communicatively connected to the at least an imaging device,
• wherein the computing device comprises:
• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• at least a processor communicatively connected to the non-transitory memory,
• wherein the non-transitory memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
• receive, using the at least a processor, the plurality of consecutive images from the at least an imaging device, wherein each consecutive image of the plurality of consecutive images is associated with at least an image metric;
• detect, using the at least a processor, a first consecutive image and a second consecutive image of the plurality of consecutive images are out of specification based on one or more metrics and quality data, wherein the second consecutive image is suboptimal;
• identify, using the at least an imaging device, a probed focal plane associated with the second consecutive image by:
• collecting, using the at least an imaging device, a plurality of probed images at different focal planes at a location of the second consecutive image;
• and
• determining, using the at least a processor, the probed focal plane for the location of the second consecutive image as a function of the plurality of probed images;
• conditionally modify, using the at least a processor, the one or more metrics associated with the at least an imaging device as a function of the probed focal plane;
• and
• initiate, using the at least an imaging device, a rescanning operation of the second consecutive image as a function of the probed focal plane.
