Systems, methods, and computer programs for a microscope and microscope system

Abstract

Examples relate to systems, methods and computer programs for a microscope, and to a microscope system comprising such as system. The system for the microscope comprises one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The system is configured to obtain image data from an optical imaging sensor of the microscope. The image data comprises at least a first frame and a subsequent second frame. The system is configured to determine a plurality of points of the first frame and a corresponding plurality of points of the second frame. In some embodiments, the plurality of points are selected from a portion of the image data showing an illuminated portion of an object being shown in the image data. The system is configured to determine a plurality of offsets between the plurality of points of the first frame and the corresponding plurality of points of the second frame. In various embodiments, the system is configured to determine a group of similar offsets from the plurality of offsets. In this case, the system is configured to estimate a motion of the optical imaging sensor based on the group of similar offsets. Alternatively, the motion of the optical imaging sensor may be estimated directly based on the plurality of offsets. The system is configured to adjust the image data based on the estimated motion.
