COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR QUALITY CONTROL OF A DIGITAL IMAGE OF A SAMPLE

A computer-implemented method for quality control of at least one digital image of a sample (112) mounted on a slide (114) is proposed. The method comprises the following actions:a) Providing at least one digital image of the sample (112) mounted on the slide (114) using at least one imaging device (116) of a slide imaging apparatus (110);b) Determining quality of the digital image by determining sharpness values of subregions of at least one region of interest of the digital image by using at least one edge detection image filter and comparing the sharpness values within the region of interest, wherein the quality of the region of interest is classified depending on the comparison;c) Generating at least one indication depending on the classification of the quality, wherein actions b) and c) are performed automatically.
