AUTOMATED COMBINED TECHNIQUE FOR SEGMENTING CYTOLOGICAL SPECIMEN IMAGES

2007

Abstract

Automated snake-based combined technique for segmenting cytological images is proposed. The main features of the technique are: implementation of the wave propagation model and modified Gaussian filter based on the heat equation with heat source, availability of coarse and precise levels of contour approximation, automated snake initiation. The technique is successfully implemented for segmenting cytological specimen images.
