1. An high-speed automatic scanning method, for interpreting images with artificial intelligence-assistance, comprising steps:
setting scanning parameters of an image capture platform, wherein the scanning parameters include a numeral value by which a slide glass is divided into a plurality of blocks, a numeral value by which one block is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks, a position of a central block, and a scanning path, and the scanning path may be a scanning path going helically clockwise or a scanning path going helically counterclockwise;
selecting the scanning path, aligning a focusing position of the image capture platform to the central block on the slide glass for focusing, and respectively capturing images of the sub-blocks of the central block;
moving the focusing position of the image capture platform from the central block to a neighboring block according to the scanning path, wherein the neighboring block is adjacent to the central block, focusing on the neighboring block, and capturing images of the sub-blocks of the neighboring block; and
repeating a procedure until all the blocks have been scanned, wherein the procedure includes moving the focusing position to a next neighboring block according to the scanning path, focusing on the next neighboring block, and capturing images of the sub-blocks of the next neighboring block.
