Hierarchical SOMs: Segmentation of Cell-Migration Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of hierarchical self organizing maps (HSOM) to the segmentation of cell migration images, obtained during high-content screening in molecular medicine, is described. The segmentation is critical to our larger project for developing methods for the automatic annotation of cell migration images. The HSOM appears to perform better than the conventional computervision methods of histogram thresholding, edge detection, and the newer techniques involving single-layer SOMs. However, the HSOM techniques have to be complemented by region-based techniques to improve the quality of the segmented images.

متن کاملAn efficient Self-Organizing Active Contour model for image segmentation
Active Contour Models (ACMs) constitute a powerful energy-based minimization framework for image segmentation, based on the evolution of an active contour. Among ACMs, supervised ACMs are able to exploit the information extracted from supervised examples to guide the contour evolution. However, their applicability is limited by the accuracy of the probability models they use. As a consequence, ...
