Abstract
The invention provides methods of determining a correction for a misalignment between at least two images in a sequence of images due at least in part to sample movement. The methods are applied, for example, in the processing and analysis of a sequence of images of biological tissue in a diagnostic procedure. The invention also provides methods of validating the correction for a misalignment between at least two images in a sequence of images of a sample. The methods may be applied in deciding whether a correction for misalignment accurately accounts for sample motion.
