CELLULAR ANALYSIS UTILIZING VIDEO PROCESSING AND NEURAL NETWORK

摘要

A system for microscopic analysis and classification includes a plurality of vision systems (VS1 - VSn) and a host computer (40). The vision system assigns vectors representing a color characteristic of a stained cell on a slide (10). These vectors represent hue, saturation and intensity histograms of a cell and/or the nucleus of the cell. Other cell features such as area, area of the nucleus and area of the cell cytoplasm can also be used as vectors. The vectors are fed into a neural network (fig. 14) which performs the classification.
