Abstract
Real-time preview of hyperspectral data during data acquisition is provided, in which the hyperspectral data represents chemical and/or physical properties of a sample and is represented by a set of channel images. For each channel image of the set, an edge score is determined using a plurality of edge kernels, a noise score is determined using a noise kernel, and a contrast score is determined for the channel image based on the ratio of the determined edge score to the respective determined noise score. Channel images are selected in descending order of associated contrast scores, as a plurality of high contrast candidate images. One or more augmented candidate images are generated by applying one or more augmentation methods, and a contrast score is determined for each augmented candidate image. The candidate image with the highest contrast score is provided as preview image during data acquisition.
