Segmentation of nuclear images in automated cervical cancer screening
Vladimir V. Dadeshidze · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1995
This paper describes an efficient method of segmenting cell nuclei from complex scenes based upon the use of adaptive region growing in conjuction with nucleus-specific filters. Results of segmenting potentially abnormal (cancer or neoplastic) cell nuclei in Papanicolaou smears from 0.8 square micrometers resolution images are also presented.
