Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing image data of a process-free plate, the method comprising: (a) a data acquisition step of receiving image data using one or more channels of an imaging system, each channel functioning to image the same target region of a process-free plate using a different wavelength of light; (b) when image data is received using a plurality of channels, a data processing step of combining the image data from the plurality of channels; and (c) a data processing step of filtering the image data using at least one of: (i) self-filtering, (ii) Fourier shrinkage and (iii) Wavelet shrinkage, wherein each wavelength of light is around the crosslinking wavelength for the process-free plate, and wherein each channel images the same target region of process-free plate using a wavelength of light that is within approximately one hundred nanometers (100 nm) of the crosslinking wavelength.
