Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Optical Interferometry
  • Reproductive Biology

Background:

  • Quadrature Tomographic Microscopy (QTM) is an optical interferometer used for imaging biological samples.
  • Accurate image registration is essential for analyzing distinguishing features of viable embryos in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
  • Challenges in QTM include multiple simultaneous camera views and potential embryo movement between imaging sessions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust and fully automated registration algorithm for QTM images.
  • To address the need for precise embryo feature recognition to advance IVF techniques.
  • To handle multi-camera calibration and compensate for embryo motion during imaging.

Main Methods:

  • A novel algorithm employing a variant of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm for multi-camera calibration.
