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 19):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for determining a variable scan speed profile of a scan for acquiring a current scan line of an image of an object, the computer executable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the following steps:\n receiving at least one previously acquired predictive scan line, each of which provided as a series of pixel values as a function of position along the previously acquired predictive scan line; determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on the pixel values of the at least one previously acquired predictive scan line; and determining the variable scan speed profile from the determined positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest, the variable scan speed profile comprising at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan 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.
