Absolute Coordinate Pathology Slide Scanning

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory component, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• detecting, in a camera view of a slide captured by a slide scanning device, two or more fiducials of the slide depicted in the camera view;
• generating, based on locations within the camera view of the two or more detected fiducials, a primary coordinates system (PCS);
• determining, using the PCS, coordinates defining a location identified in the camera view, wherein the coordinates define a location of interest (LOI) on the slide;
• and
• displaying, in the camera view, the determined coordinates.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting, in a camera view of a slide captured by a slide scanning device, two or more fiducials of the slide depicted in the camera view;
• generating, based on locations within the camera view of the two or more detected fiducials, a primary coordinates system (PCS), comprising defining a respective coordinate associated with each pixel of a set of pixels of a region of interest of the camera view depicting the slide;
• receiving, via a user interface, a selection of a location in the camera view identifying a location of interest (LOI) on the slide depicted at the selected location in the camera view;
• accessing a particular defined coordinate associated with a pixel corresponding to the selected location in the camera view;
• and
• displaying, in the camera view responsive to receiving the selection, the accessed particular defined coordinate.
