Morphological Segmentation of Histology Cell Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two algorithms for segmentation of cell images are proposed. They have a unique part that contains computation of morphological gradient to extract object borders and thinning the obtained borders to get a line of one-pixel thickness. For this task, we propose the fast gray-scale thinning algorithm that is based on the idea of the analysis of binary image layers. Then, the obtained one-pixel lines are used to extract cells and compute their characteristics. The algorithms based on morphological and split/merge segmentation are developed and used for this task.

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System
Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...
