Abstract:
A method and system for obtaining an image of object, for example an optical section of a sample, are disclosed. The image includes a plurality of scan lines to be acquired. The method includes, for a current one of the scan lines to be acquired, a step of determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line. The method also includes a step of acquiring the current scan line along a scan path in accordance with a variable scan speed profile including at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component elsewhere along the scan path.

Claim (Index 24):
An imaging system for obtaining an image of an object, the image comprising a plurality of scan lines to be acquired, the imaging system comprising:\n an illumination assembly generating an illumination beam; a scanner assembly scanning the illumination beam along a scan path across a portion of the object; a detector assembly detecting an object signal emanating from the scanned portion of the object and generating, from the detected object signal, a current one of the scan lines; and a processor configured to determine positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line, and to control the scanner assembly to scan the illumination beam over the portion of the object corresponding to the current scan line in accordance with a variable scan speed profile comprising at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component along other segments of the scan path.
