چکیده

In this paper, a novel method for automated diagnosis of cervical cancer by extracting cytoplasm and nuclei from cervical cytology images is described. The background is removed by preprocessing methods like Edge sharpening and Adaptive Histogram Equalization. Fuzzy thresholding and Active contours are used for extracting the region of interest containing the cytoplasm and nuclei. The nuclei are separated from the cytoplasm using linear contrast stretching. The nucleus to cytoplasm ratio is used to determine the stage of cancer. General Terms Image Processing, Cervical Cancer

Training Nuclei Detection Algorithms with Simple Annotations

BACKGROUND Generating good training datasets is essential for machine learning-based nuclei detection methods. However, creating exhaustive nuclei contour annotations, to derive optimal training data from, is often infeasible. METHODS We compared different approaches for training nuclei detection methods solely based on nucleus center markers. Such markers contain less accurate information, e...
