Image Based Correction For Unwanted Light Signals In A Specific Region Of Interest

Abstract

A method for correcting the signal in an image having a plurality of regions of interest, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing an image having a plurality of regions of interest, these regions of interest having areas between them; (b) determining a region of correction between at least two regions of interest; (c) calculating a correction signal from the region of correction; and (d) using the correction signal to correct a measured signal from one or more regions of interest. This invention also provides a method for defining a region of correction for use in a method for correcting the signal in an image having a plurality of regions of interest, the defining method comprising the steps of: (a) providing an image having a plurality of regions of interest; (b) extracting geometric information for a plurality of regions of interest; (c) selecting a location between at least two regions of interest; (d) selecting at least one parameter to describe regions of correction; and (e) constructing regions of correction between the at least two regions of interest.
