This paper presents a two-phase method to segment the hippocampus in histological images. The first phase represents a training stage where, from a training set of manually labelled images, the hippocampus representative shape and texture are derived. The second one, the proper segmentation, uses a metaheuristic to evolve the contour of a geometric deformable model using region and texture information.
