步骤1:将样品置于光学显微镜的载物台上;Step 1: Place the sample on the stage of the optical microscope;
步骤2:光学显微镜的物镜、第一分光镜、第二分光镜、第一双色镜、第二双色镜、平面镜、左目镜和右目镜构成目视观察光路;使用者通过目视观察光路 对样品进行观察;物镜和第一分光镜构成显微图像获取光路,显微镜相机通过显微图像获取光路对样品进行图像采集;右目镜和第一双色镜构成右侧图像获取光路,左目镜和第二双色镜构成左侧图像获取光路;右眼追踪相机和左眼追踪相机通过右侧图像获取光路和左侧图像获取光路分别获取使用者在目镜上观察样品时的眼睛图像,如图5所示;Step 2: The objective lens of the optical microscope, the first beam splitter, the second beam splitter, the first dichroic mirror, the second dichroic mirror, the flat mirror, the left eyepiece and the right eyepiece constitute the visual observation optical path; the user observes the sample through the visual observation optical path Observe; the objective lens and the first beam splitter constitute the microscopic image acquisition optical path, the microscope camera uses the microscopic image acquisition optical path to collect the image of the sample; the right eyepiece and the first dichroic mirror constitute the right image acquisition optical path, the left eyepiece and the second dichroic The mirror constitutes the left-side image acquisition light path; the right-eye tracking camera and the left-eye tracking camera acquire the eye image of the user when the user observes the sample on the eyepiece through the right-side image acquisition light path and the left-side image acquisition light path respectively, as shown in Figure 5;
步骤3:使用者将光学显微镜先调到低倍镜,调节准焦螺旋聚焦,对样品进行初步观察,再转换到高倍镜,调节准焦螺旋聚焦,对样品进行观察;Step 3: The user first adjusts the optical microscope to a low-power lens, adjusts the focus spiral focus, and conducts preliminary observation of the sample, and then switches to a high-power lens, adjusts the focus spiral focus, and observes the sample;
步骤4:根据显微镜相机、右眼追踪相机、左眼追踪相机实时获取的图像通过视线追踪算法和注视区域标定算法建立眼球三维形状模型;根据右眼追踪相机、左眼追踪相机实时获取的角膜反射的图像中计算得出每一帧眼睛的视线方向;而连续地不断地视线检测即为视线追踪,此部分的眼球三维形状模型输出为标定好视线方向的三维图像,如图4所示;Step 4: Based on the real-time images acquired by the microscope camera, right-eye tracking camera, and left-eye tracking camera, establish a three-dimensional shape model of the eyeball through the gaze tracking algorithm and the gaze area calibration algorithm; according to the corneal reflection acquired in real time by the right-eye tracking camera and the left-eye tracking camera Calculate the line of sight direction of the eyes in each frame of the image; and the continuous line of sight detection is the line of sight tracking. The 3D shape model of this part of the eyeball is output as a 3D image with the line of sight direction calibrated, as shown in Figure 4;
具体步骤为:The specific steps are:
通过设置远离光轴的左、右红外光源在使用者左、右眼的角膜上形成反射点,该反射点即为普尔钦斑;左、右眼追踪相机实时采集使用者左、右眼的图像,并在实时采集图像的内提取普尔钦斑的中心到瞳孔中心的矢量作为视线方向参数,然后利用眼球成像模型估计视线方向;By setting the left and right infrared light sources away from the optical axis, a reflection point is formed on the cornea of the user's left and right eyes, and the reflection point is the Purkin spot; the left and right eye tracking cameras collect the images of the user's left and right eyes in real time , And extract the vector from the center of the Purkin spot to the center of the pupil in the real-time collected image as the line of sight direction parameter, and then use the eyeball imaging model to estimate the line of sight direction;

具体方法为:标定使用者在目镜内观察到的视野范围,也就是记录使用者在观察视野边缘时,所述视野范围=视场数/物镜倍率,视场数、倍率为固定参数;本实施例中视场数为22、物镜倍率为40,则视野范围为0.55mm;视线的方向;在标定完成后,在视野范围内的视线方向都能在左眼追踪相机和右眼追踪相机获取的眼睛的图像(即目镜的影像)得到映射关系,也就是凝视方向与观察载玻片时的视焦点之间的映射关系,即通过建立空间三维坐标计算确定人体眼睛所 在位置相对于样本视焦点的距离,进而计算确定人眼的视线方向在样本上的实时相交点。同样的,在观察载玻片时,不断的得到使用者观察其图像的视焦点,以定义好的时间距离,生成凝视热图。而凝视热图是使用者在定义好的单位时间内在图像中的视焦点频率分布图,可以表达出使用者观察与分析显微图像的行为方式。The specific method is: calibrate the field of view observed by the user in the eyepiece, that is, record the field of view = the number of field of view/the magnification of the objective lens when the user observes the edge of the field of view, the number of field of view and the magnification are fixed parameters; In the example, the field of view is 22 and the objective magnification is 40, the field of view is 0.55mm; the direction of the line of sight; after the calibration is completed, the line of sight in the field of view can be captured by the left eye tracking camera and the right eye tracking camera The image of the eyepiece (ie the image of the eyepiece) gets the mapping relationship, that is, the mapping relationship between the gaze direction and the visual focus when observing the glass slide, that is, the distance between the position of the human eye and the visual focus of the sample is determined by establishing a three-dimensional coordinate calculation , And then calculate and determine the real-time intersection point of the line of sight of the human eye on the sample. Similarly, when observing the slide glass, the focus of the user's observation of the image is continuously obtained, and the gaze heat map is generated with a defined time distance. The gaze heat map is the frequency distribution map of the user's visual focus in the image within a defined unit time, which can express the user's behavior in observing and analyzing the microscopic image.
所述映射关系为中心透视变换,如图6所示,E代表使用者眼睛,q即为在目镜的影像中的使用者的视线方向点,r为观察载玻片时的视焦点,以o为原点建立空间三维坐标;The mapping relationship is the central perspective transformation, as shown in Figure 6, E represents the user's eyes, q is the user's line of sight in the image of the eyepiece, and r is the focal point when observing the slide. Establish spatial three-dimensional coordinates for the origin;
r点的坐标可以表示为:The coordinates of point r can be expressed as:
r=E+t(q-E)r=E+t(q-E)
其中t为乘法系数;Where t is the multiplication coefficient;
病理诊断是癌症诊断的金标准,在癌症治疗中,正确的病理诊断是癌症有效治疗的基础,病理诊断结果不仅用于判断病变的性质和分类,还直接决定外科医生的手术方法、范围和内科医生的用药方案。不同的病理类型,治疗采用的手段、药物以及预后效果大相径庭。明确的病理诊断给临床医生正确的指导,为患者争取更好的预后和更长的生存时间。Pathological diagnosis is the gold standard for cancer diagnosis. In cancer treatment, correct pathological diagnosis is the basis for effective cancer treatment. The results of pathological diagnosis are not only used to judge the nature and classification of the lesion, but also directly determine the surgeon’s surgical method, scope and internal medicine Doctor's medication regimen. Different pathological types, treatment methods, drugs and prognostic effects are quite different. The clear pathological diagnosis gives clinicians the correct guidance, and strives for better prognosis and longer survival time for patients.
病理医生的培养周期非常长,通常病理阅读1万例以上后,才能独立撰写初步的病理报告;经手3万病理,才能复查下级医生的报告;经手5万例以上,才能解决疑难诊断。我国目前只有2万多名病理科医生,但恶性肿瘤发病率达到10%以上,存在严重的医生短缺和分布不均的状况。本方法中生成的医生对病理切片的注视热图,可用于医生的教学和阅片训练,加快病理科医生的教育培训速度,满足国内病理医生培养周期长的需求,同时也可将热图作为标签,与人工智能方法结合使用。The training cycle of pathologists is very long. Usually, after reading more than 10,000 pathology cases, they can write a preliminary pathology report independently; after handling 30,000 pathologies, they can review the reports of lower-level doctors; and after handling more than 50,000 cases, can they solve difficult diagnoses. There are currently only more than 20,000 pathologists in my country, but the incidence of malignant tumors has reached more than 10%, and there is a serious shortage of doctors and uneven distribution. The doctor’s gaze heat map of pathological slices generated in this method can be used for doctor’s teaching and reading training, speeding up the education and training of pathologists, meeting the needs of domestic pathologists with a long training cycle, and can also use the heat map as Tags, combined with artificial intelligence methods.
