Abstract
A method for reading a test region of an assay includes: capturing a plurality of images of an assay with an imaging device; from each image of the plurality of images, extracting a region of interest comprising pixels of the image associated with a test region of the assay; from each extracted region of interest, estimating respective intensity values of at least a portion of the pixels; grouping the estimated intensity values into one or more clusters, said grouping comprising determining a total number of intensity values grouped into each cluster and a variance of each cluster; selecting the cluster having a total number of intensity values at or above a predetermined threshold and a smallest variance; calculating a mean intensity value of the selected cluster; and outputting the calculated mean intensity value as a result of the assay.
