A combination of Gram-Schmidt method and cluster validation algorithm based Bayesian is proposed for nuclei segmentation on microscopic breast cancer image. Gram-Schmidt is applied to identify the cell nuclei on a microscopic breast cancer image and the cluster validation algorithm based Bayesian method is used for separating the touching nuclei. The microscopic image of the breast cancer cells are used as dataset. The segmented cell nuclei results on microscopic breast cancer images using Gram-Schmidt method shows that the most of MSE values are below 0.1 and the average MSE of segmented cell nuclei results is 0.08. The average accuracy of separated cell nuclei counting using cluster validation algorithm is 73% compares with the manual counting.
