Latest Patents
John P Kennealy holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for processing images." This invention discloses a method for detecting rare cells in a biological sample. The process involves generating a color image of the sample and decomposing it into its color components. A first mask is created based on a specific color characteristic of the rare cells. At least one color component of the image is filtered using this mask to produce a composite image that highlights features with the first color characteristic. Subsequently, a second mask is generated based on other color characteristics of the rare cells, and the first composite image is filtered using this second mask to create a second composite image. The color and/or shape of features in this second composite image are analyzed, leading to a list of locations of probable rare cells.
