Claim: 1. A method of operating a graphical user interface to control an image processing pipeline comprising: receiving identification of images through the graphical user interface; receiving selection of an image processing routine through the graphical user interface; executing the image processing routine on the identified images in an image processing pipeline processor; responsive to an image viewer request entered through the graphical user interface, displaying a view of a masked image result produced by the image processing routine; responsive to a data viewer request entered through the graphical user interface, displaying data representing numerical results produced in response to the masked image; and, displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing a parameter value of the image processing routine.
Claim: 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing the image processing routine.
Claim: 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing the numerical results.
Claim: 4. A program product including computer executable instructions for causing an image processing system to execute a method comprising: receiving images; receiving selection of an image processing routine through a graphical user interface; executing the image processing routine on the identified images in an image processing pipeline processor; responsive to an image viewer request entered through the graphical user interface, displaying a view of a masked image result produced by the image processing routine; responsive to a data viewer request entered through the graphical user interface, displaying data representing numerical results produced in response to the masked image; and, displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing a parameter value of the image processing routine.
Claim: 5. The program product of claim 4, the method further comprising displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing the image processing routine.
Claim: 6. The program product of claim 4, the method further comprising displaying a screen on the graphical user interface for changing the numerical results.
Claim: 7. A computer-executed user interface method for controlling automated processing of images acquired from a sample of biological material, including computer-executed steps of: displaying a graphical interface; receiving via the graphical interface a designation of an image naming convention; receiving via the graphical interface a designation of image sources and destinations; receiving via the graphical interface a designation of image processing channels, processing parameter values, and processing spatial designations; and, receiving via the graphical interface a designation of image processing gating values.
