Examining a key medical application of vision systems, James Lee, vice president and chief technical officer of Neopath Inc., detailed a new vision system that automatically analyzes and screens Pap smears for cervical cancer cells. Using a three-camera continuous-focusing video microscope and a high-speed pipeline-processing ASIC architecture, this vision system maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio by dynamic normalization, object-feature calibration, specimen conditioning, and slide-level process normalization by multiple information integration and object classifications.
