Top-Down Segmentation of Histological Images Using a Digital Deformable Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a straightforward top-down segmentation method based on a contour approach on histological images. Our approach relies on a digital deformable model whose internal energy is based on the minimum length polygon and that uses a greedy algorithm to minimise its energy. Experiments on real histological images of breast cancer yields results as good as that of classical active contours.

A Hybrid 3D Colon Segmentation Method Using Modified Geometric Deformable Models
Introduction: Nowadays virtual colonoscopy has become a reliable and efficient method of detecting primary stages of colon cancer such as polyp detection. One of the most important and crucial stages of virtual colonoscopy is colon segmentation because an incorrect segmentation may lead to a misdiagnosis. Materials and Methods: In this work, a hybrid method based on Geometric Deformable Models...
متن کاملTiled Top-Down Pyramids and Segmentation of Large Histological Images
Recent microscopic imaging systems such as whole slide scanners provide very large (up to 18GB) high resolution images. Such amounts of memory raise major issues that prevent usual image representation models from being used. Moreover, using such high resolution images, global image features, such as tissues, do not clearly appear at full resolution. Such images contain thus different hierarchi...
متن کاملPhysics-Based Deformable Organisms for Medical Image Analysis
Previously, “Deformable organisms” were introduced as a novel paradigm for medical image analysis that uses artificial life modelling concepts. Deformable organisms were designed to complement the classical bottomup deformable models methodologies (geometrical and physical layers), with top-down intelligent deformation control mechanisms (behavioral and cognitive layers). However, a true physic...
متن کاملTowards Intelligent Deformable Models for Medical Image Analysis
Medical imaging continues to permeate the practice of medicine, but automated yet accurate segmentation and labeling of anatomical structures continues to be a major obstacle to computerized medical image analysis (MIA). Deformable models, with its profound roots in estimation theory, optimization, and physics-based dynamical systems, represent a powerful approach to the general problem of medi...
متن کاملA Physics-Inspired Model of Image Structure Representation by Deformable Elastic Grid
A novel physics-inspired model is proposed for image structure representation. The deformable elastic grid is defined on digital images. The attracting force between adjacent points is defined according to the gray-scale difference, which is the source of force causing the deformation of the elastic grid. The final shape of the grid after deformation can represent image structure information, b...
