Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer program products for bio-image calibration are described. One aspect provides a bio-image calibration device including: a calibration portion comprising predetermined color areas; wherein the predetermined color areas are arranged in a predetermined pattern corresponding to a watermark; wherein the predetermined color areas are a predetermined size and a predetermined shape; and wherein the predetermined color areas are located on one or more edges of the bio-image device. Other embodiments are described.

Claims (13)

1. A bio-image calibration device comprising:

a calibration portion comprising predetermined color areas;

wherein the predetermined color areas are arranged in a predetermined pattern corresponding to a watermark;

wherein the predetermined color areas are a predetermined size and a predetermined shape; and

wherein the predetermined color areas are located on one or more edges of the bio-image device.

2. The bio-image calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more edges comprise one or more of a top edge and a bottom edge of the bio-image calibration device.

3. The bio-image calibration device according to claim 1 , further comprising an aperture in the bio-image calibration device; wherein said aperture is at least partially lined with the predetermined color areas.

4. The bio-image calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined color areas are printed on the bio-image calibration device using known color values for the following colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black;

wherein a color area of the predetermined color areas contains a single color selected from the group of colors consisting of cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
