Regression Based Iterative Illumination Compensation Method for Multi-Focal Whole Slide Imaging System

Image quality, resolution and scanning time are critical in digital pathology. In order to create a high-resolution digital image, the scanner systems execute stitching algorithms to the digitized images. Due to the heterogeneity of the tissue sample, complex optical path, non-acceptable sample qual...
