The present invention relates to a method and a system for aligning at least one part of a second digital image with at least one part of a first digital image comprising: dividing the at least one part of the first digital image into a plurality of tiles t_fi; dividing the at least one part of the second digital image into a plurality of tiles t_si; creating a plurality of correlation images fci; determining the position of a global maximum correlation value p_&#x3bd;' for each of the plurality of correlation images fci_&#x3bd;&#x2032;; calculating a plurality of first offset vectors fov, the offset vector fov_&#x3bd;&#x2033; representing the offset between the tile t_si&#x3bd;&#x2033; and the corresponding tile t_fi&#x3bd;&#x2033;; and aligning the at least one part of the second digital image with the at least one part of the first digital image by applying the corresponding first offset vectors fov.

Method for aligning at least one part of one digital image to at least one part of another digital image

The present invention relates to a method and a system for determining the positions of a plurality of objects in a digital image by discriminating true positive positions of the plurality of objects from false positive candidate positions of the plurality of objects. In particular, the invention relates to a method for determining the positions of a plurality of objects in a digital image by discriminating true positive positions of the plurality of objects from false positive candidate positions of the plurality of objects, the plurality of objects being configured to receive molecules comprising genetic information.

Method for determining the positions of a plurality of objects in a digital image

System and method for distinguishing at least one first object from at least one second object in a plurality of digital images is provided. The at least one first object having received at least one molecule comprising genetic information, the at least one second object not having received a molecule comprising genetic information. The at least one molecule is configured to receive one of a plurality of fluorescent compounds in each of a plurality of cycles. The digital images being determined by an optical imaging system during emission of electromagnetic radiation by the fluorescent compounds, wherein the plurality of digital images comprises a plurality of series of images, each image of a series referring to the emission spectrum of a respective fluorescent compound and wherein the series of images is repeatedly taken for each of the plurality of cycles.
