Epithelial rosette detection in microscopic images

In Computer Vision techniques, the detection of any interested structures, patterns or constellations can be abstracted as object detection. Object detection has wide applications in many practical tasks, like face detection [1] and pedestrian detection [2]. It also has many successful applications in biomedical tasks. Approaches which are similar to our rosette detector are used for detecting cell mitosis [3] or specific structures in zebrafish embryos [4, 5].
