[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods:

[0023] An intelligent optical microscope multi-focus image fusion technology comprises the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: Image alignment:

[0025] Use an image processing library (such as OpenCV) to ensure alignment of all images;

[0026] Feature matching and image transformation (such as perspective transformation) techniques are used to achieve accurate alignment of images with different focal lengths.

[0027] Step 2: Focus extraction:

[0028] Applies a high-pass filter to each image, enhancing detail in the sharp parts of the image.

[0029] Step 3: Image synthesis, reconstructing the synthetic image through fusion algorithm;

[0030] Specifically, the steps of image synthesis include: creating a blank canvas and traversing the pixels of each image; setting a threshold, and retaining the pixels of the current image only when the clarity of a certain area exceeds the set value, thereby achieving the selection and synthesis of high-quality areas.

[0031] The fusion algorithms include Laplace pyramid fusion and wavelet transform fusion.

[0032] Specifically, Laplacian pyramid fusion decomposes the multi-focus image into a Laplacian pyramid, selects the clearest part of each image at different resolutions, and finally synthesizes the final image through inverse pyramid reconstruction. Its advantage is that it retains the local details of different images and avoids the stitching traces that may appear in simple stitching methods.

[0033] Wavelet transform fusion decomposes the image into low-frequency and high-frequency components through wavelet transform, selects the high-frequency part (representing details) of each image for fusion, and then reconstructs the final image. Its advantage is that it can effectively process the different frequency components of the image, making the fused image more advantageous in detail expression.

[0034] Step 4: Smoothing: using a smoothing or blurring filter (such as Gaussian blur) to process the synthesized image to eliminate edge artifacts that may be generated during the synthesis process;

[0035] Step 5: Save the results and save the final composite image as a file for subsequent analysis and use.

[0036] The present invention significantly improves the ability of optical microscopes in defect detection and analysis through multi-focus image fusion technology. Figure 2 shown.

[0037] This embodiment is only a further explanation of the invention rather than a limitation of the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the invention, they are protected by the patent law.
