The patent filed by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center discusses systems and methods for detecting blur in digital images, particularly in the context of pathology and slide scanners. The solution involves generating patches from digital images, determining sharpness metrics for each patch, and using a patch classifier, such as a neural network, to assign a blur score to each patch. The system can also utilize algorithms like random forest regression or logistic regression to determine blur scores, as well as a residual neural network. Additionally, the system includes a background detector to discard patches with background data and can convert images to grayscale. The sharpness metrics used include pixel intensity-based, gradient-based, transform-based, and perceptual-based features, with specific metrics like variance, entropy histogram, gradient, and various blur metrics in the frequency domain.
Furthermore, the system can flag patches with blur scores above a predetermined threshold and generate a blur map based on these flagged patches. The method involves similar steps of generating patches, determining sharpness metrics, assigning blur scores using a neural network, and generating a blur map. It also includes discarding patches with background data, converting images to grayscale, and flagging patches above a certain blur score threshold. The system and method aim to improve the quality control of scanned images by automatically rescanning blurry images and identifying regions of images affected by blur, ultimately enhancing the accuracy and reliability of digital image analysis in medical settings.
