Abstract:In micro cell images, several cells overlapped with each other often appears which causes difficulty to automatic cell estimation. How to separate overlapped cells to individual cells becomes the prerequisite of analyzing the micro cell images. In this paper, by introducing the theory of distance transform combining with watershed algorithm, a new algorithm of overlapped cell segmentation is proposed. This algorithm adopts distance transform to turn the position information of pixels to grey level information,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
