Inflammatory Cell Extraction and Nuclei Detection in Pap Smear Images
The automated diagnosis of cervical cancer in Pap smear images is a difficult though extremely important procedure. In order to obtain reliable diagnostic information, the nuclei and their characteristics must be correctly identified and evaluated. However, the presence of inflammatory and overlapping cells in these images complicates the detection process. In this work, a segmentation algorith...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of cell nuclei in PAP smear images
In this paper an automated method for cell nucleus segmentation in PAP smear images is presented. The method combines the global knowledge about the cells and nuclei appearance and the local characteristics of the area of the nuclei, in order to achieve an accurate nucleus boundary. Filters and morphological operators in all three channels of a color image result in the determination of the loc...
متن کاملCombining shape, texture and intensity features for cell nuclei extraction in Pap smear images
In this work, we present an automated method for the detection and boundary determination of cells nuclei in conventional Pap stained cervical smear images. The detection of the candidate nuclei areas is based on a morphological image reconstruction process and the segmentation of the nuclei boundaries is accomplished with the application of the watershed transform in the morphological color gr...
متن کاملAccurate Localization of Cell Nuclei in PAP Smear Images using Gradient Vector Flow Deformable Models
In this work, we present an automated method for the detection of cells nuclei boundaries in conventional PAP stained cervical smear images. The proposed method consists of three phases: a) the definition of candidate nuclei centroids set using mathematical morphology, b) the initial approximation of cells nuclei boundaries and c) the application of the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) snakes for the...
متن کاملDebris removal in Pap-smear images
Since its introduction in the 1940s the Pap-smear test has helped reduce the incidence of cervical cancer dramatically in countries where regular screening is standard. The automation of this procedure is an open problem that has been ongoing for over fifty years without reaching satisfactory results. Existing systems are discouragingly expensive and yet they are only able to make a correct dis...
