method and device for the segmentation of white blood cells in a digital colour image

摘要

The method involves identifying a first set of pixels in a color image in a series of images using a first rough measure. A first function is identified which gives an approximate description of the relationship between the respective intensities of the two color components for pixels in the first set. A second set of pixels is identified in a color image in the series of images using a second rough measure. A second function is identified. It is determined whether a given pixel in a color image in the series of images depicts an object in the first category or not, on the basis of the given pixel's respective intensities of the two color components and the first and second functions. Independent claims are included for a computer program for segmenting objects and for a digital storage medium.
