Abstract
Computerized image guided control method uses image quantification to dynamically monitor and control the cell generation process. The method acquires images during the cell generation steps and uses computer image analysis to automatically quantify the results of the cell generation steps. In one embodiment, the quantified results from the image analysis are used to determine the readiness of the cell generation step. In another embodiment, a remedial recovery sub-step for the cell generation step is also guided by the imaging results. In yet another embodiment, when a cell generation step is determined to have failed, the cell generation process is early terminated based on image guided decision.
