Abstract
This invention, which provides a method for detecting a corruption in an image acquired from a biological sample, includes: providing at least one image of at least one cell; generating the image of the at least one cell over a period of time; determining if the at least one image of the at least one cell is corrupted; applying a wavelet transform, Fourier transform, or other frequency decomposing transform to the at least one image to decompose the at least one image into a plurality of sub-images, wherein the plurality of sub-images have a plurality of low frequency channels, a plurality of middle frequency channels and a plurality of high frequency channels; calculating a ratio based on an energy level of the plurality of low frequency channels and the plurality of middle frequency channels; and removing the at least one image of at least one cell if the at least one image is corrupted.
