US Patent 11508045 Microscopy system and method for generating stylized contrast images

In a computer-implemented method for generating an image processing model that generates output data defining a stylized contrast image from a microscope image, model parameters of the image processing model are adjusted by optimizing at least one objective function using training data. The training data comprises microscope images as input data and contrast images, wherein the microscope images and the contrast images are generated by different microscopy techniques. In order for the output data to define a stylized contrast image, the objective function forces a detail reduction or the contrast images are detail-reduced contrast images with a level of detail that is lower than in the microscope images and higher than in binary images.
