Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
An algorithm for automatic segmentation of PAP-stained cell images and its digital implementation is described. First, the image is filtered in order to eliminate the granularily and small objects in the image which may upset the segmentation procedure. In a second step, information on gradient and compactness is extracted from the filtered image and stored in three histograms as functions of the extinction. From these histograms, two extinction thresholds are computed. These thresholds are suitable to separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm, and the cytoplasm from the background in the filtered image. Masks are determined in this way, and finally used to analyse the nucleus and the cytoplasm in the original image.
