This technology includes algorithms and software that improve the speed of iterative deconvolution, a common method for improving spatial resolution and contrast in fluorescence microscopy images. These algorithms also improve the registration of multiview datasets, and apply deep learning to accelerate spatially varying deconvolution.
Commercial Applications
This suite of software and algorithms could be used to improve data acquired on any fluorescence microscope.
Competitive Advantages
Deconvolving or registering large multiview datasets is currently limited by the speed of computation; however, these new methods provide a tenfold to more than one-thousandfold improvement in the speed of data processing, allowing real-time deconvolution in many cases. It is expected that this speed improvement will accelerate the pace of biological discovery, as less computing time is necessary for these post-processing methods.
