Abstract:Accuracy segmentation of the nuclei and cytoplasm in Pap smear images is challenging in cervix cytological analysis. In this paper, a new fusion algorithm combining the asymmetric generalized Gaussian and Cauchy mixture model (GGCMM) with a shape constraint level set method to segment overlapping cervical smear cells is put forward. The proposed approach starts by separating nuclei and cytoplasm cluster through asymmetric GGCMM, where each component is a mixture of generalized Gaussian distribution and Cauchy … 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.
