Abstract
Image features are extracted from multiple variably-illuminated images, with the images acquired from a multi-camera array microscope. A sequence of images per camera is captured, with the illumination pattern varied between each image capture. After image capture, a post-processing algorithm finds keypoints of interest within the images captured by each camera. These features can be used to assist with stitching together images from the multi-camera array, in addition to image compression, object tracking or other automated tasks.
