This study introduces a novel no-reference image quality evaluation method for whole slide imaging (WSI). The technique effectively assesses blur and noise, improving WSI scanner usability.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Pathology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Whole slide imaging (WSI) is crucial for digital pathology, but its practical application depends heavily on image quality.
  • Assessing WSI image quality without a reference image presents a significant challenge in current digital pathology workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a no-reference image quality evaluation method for scanned whole slide images.
  • To address the limitations of conventional methods by simultaneously evaluating multiple image degradations like blur and noise.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a novel evaluation index derived from image sharpness and noise information using linear regression analysis.
  • Developed two approaches for determining linear regression coefficients: one for objective quality assessment (using Mean Square Error) and another for subjective quality assessment (using human observer scores).
