Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is an image processing apparatus capable of analyzing a target sample image with high accuracy in line with a phenomenon occurring in the target sample. The image processing device includes: a dye spectrum storage portion ( 233 ) for storing a dye spectrum of a dye used in staining the stained sample; and an arithmetic portion ( 250 ) including: a variation characteristic calculating portion ( 2501 ) for calculating, based on the stored dye spectrum, a variation characteristic representing either a sharp or gradual change of the dye spectrum in the wavelength direction; and a dye-amount/variation-amount estimating portion ( 2503 ) for estimating, based on the stored dye spectrum and the calculated variation characteristic, a variation amount from a pixel value of each pixel forming the stained sample image based on the dye-amount and the variation characteristic, the arithmetic portion analyzing the stained sample image at least based on the variation amount.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus for processing a stained sample image obtained by imaging a stained sample, the image processing apparatus comprising: a dye spectrum storage portion for storing a dye spectrum of a dye used in staining the stained sample; and an arithmetic portion including a variation characteristic calculating portion and a dye-amount/variation-amount estimating portion, the variation characteristic calculating portion calculating a v…
