Abstract
For the color correction of microscope images, an object that corresponds to a predetermined object type of a known color is localized in a microscope image using an image processing program. Based on an image region of the localized object, a color correction is determined with which a color of the localized object in the image region is brought into accordance with the known color. The color correction is applied to at least one section of the microscope image or of another microscope image or is used in a capture of a further microscope image.
Claims16
A computer-implemented method for color correction of microscope images, comprising:
- receiving a microscope image;
- localizing an object that corresponds to a predefined object type of a known color in the microscope image using an image processing program that is configured to automatically localize predefined object types of a known color;
- determining a color correction on the basis of at least one image region of the localized object to bring a color of the localized object in the image region into accordance with the known color;
- and
- applying the color correction to at least a section of the microscope image or of another microscope image, or using the color correction in a capture of a further microscope image.
A microscopy system including:
- a microscope for image capture;
- and
- a computing device configured to carry out a computer-implemented method for color correction of microscope images, the method comprising:
- receiving a microscope image;
- localizing an object that corresponds to a predefined object type of a known color in the microscope image using an image processing program that is configured to automatically localize predefined object types of a known color;
- determining a color correction on the basis of at least one image region of the localized object to bring a color of the localized object in the image region into accordance with the known color;
- and
- applying the color correction to at least a section of the microscope image or of another microscope image, or using the color correction in a capture of a further microscope image.
