FoucsPath

Focus Quality Assessment for Digital Pathology (Microscopy) Images

FocusPath is a dataset compiled from diverse Whole Slide Image (WSI) scans in different focus (z-) levels. Images are naturally blurred by out-of-focus lens provided with GT scores of focus levels. The dataset can be used for No-Reference Focus Quality assessment of Digital Pathology/Microscopy images.
