Abstract
In this article, we describe a new image analysis software that allows rapid segmentation and separation of fluorescently stained cell nuclei using a fast ellipse detection algorithm. Detection time ranged between 1.84 and 3.14 s. Segmentation results were compared with manual evaluation. The achieved over-segmentation rate was 0.11 (0.1 double counts and 0.01 false positive detections), and the under-segmentation rate was of 0.03 over all images. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm to automated counting of fluorescent-labeled cell nuclei and to tissue characterization. Moreover, the performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with preexisting automated image analysis techniques described by others.
