METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF ORAL SUB-MUCOUS FIBROSIS USING MICROSCOPIC IMAGE ANALYSIS OF ORAL BIOPSY SAMPLES

摘要

Method and system for analyzing an image of an oral sample. The method includes receiving the image of the oral sample. The method also includes converting the image to a gray-scale image. Further, the method includes de-noising the gray-scale image. Furthermore, the method includes enhancing epithelial region in the gray-scale image. Also, the method includes generating a binary image from the gray-scale image. The method further includes detecting boundary of the epithelial region in the binary image. Furthermore, the method includes extracting the boundary of the epithelial region. The method also includes extracting the basal cell nuclei in the epithelial region. Further, the method includes determining one or more parameters of the epithelial region and the basal cell nuclei to enable detection of the oral sample as one of pre-malignant and non-malignant.
