Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Nailfold capillary imaging is crucial for assessing microvascular health.
  • Image blurring from tremors and complex capillary distributions hinder accurate analysis.
  • Existing methods struggle with real-time focus tracking and image registration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust system for real-time focus tracking and image registration in nailfold capillary imaging.
