Abstract
A method for processing an image of a microfluidic device. The method includes receiving a first image of a microfluidic device. The first image corresponds to a first state. Additionally, the method includes receiving a second image of the microfluidic device. The second image corresponds to a second state. Moreover, the method includes transforming the first image and the second image into a third coordinate space. Also, the method includes obtaining a third image based on at least information associated with the transformed first image and the transformed second image, and processing the third image to obtain information associated with the first state and the second state.

A method for processing an image of a microfluidic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first image of a microfluidic device, the first image corresponding to a first state;
- receiving a second image of the microfluidic device, the second image corresponding to a second state;
- transforming the first image into a third coordinate space, using a processor, the transforming using at least a first fiducial on the first image;
- transforming the second image into the third coordinate space, using the processor, the transforming using at least a second fiducial on the second image;
- obtaining a third image based on at least information associated with the transformed first image and the transformed second image;
- processing the third image to obtain information associated with the first state and the second state using the processor.
A computer-readable medium including instructions for processing an image of a microfluidic device, the computer-readable medium comprising:
- one or more instructions for receiving a first image of a microfluidic device, the first image corresponding to a first state;
- one or more instructions for receiving a second image of the microfluidic device, the second image corresponding to a second state;
- one or more instructions for transforming the first image into a third coordinate space, the transforming using at least a first fiducial on the first image;
- one or more instructions for transforming the second image into the third coordinate space, the transforming using at least a second fiducial on the second image;
- one or more instructions for obtaining a third image based on at least information associated with the transformed first image and the transformed second image;
- one or more instructions for processing the third image to obtain information associated with the first state and the second state.
