Nucleus Classification By VenkatasandeepkumarChithirala HarikkumarMahareddy HarshaGaddam
Objectives • Classification of nuclei. • Based on circularity , volume , density/texture. • Volume ,area and density of nucleolus. • Volume ,area and density of heterochromatin.
Features • The nucleolus is not constant it keeps on changing from one slice to other slice. • The nucleus position is also not constant . • Some particles look similar to nucleus.
Plugin • Automatic segmentation and finding the position of various nucleus. • Using filters and threshold. • Then we take those positions and select regions in original image and then calculate the various aspects required . • Particular nucleus present at a position is considered and then we move through all slices to get the best output.
Automatic selection of the nucleus • Firstly we apply bilateral filter . • Then we apply the sobel edge detection. • By adjusting the threshold values and analyzing the particles we find the nucleus positions. • Then we find the maxima so that we get the seed points. • The above process is done by a single click of the custom plugin we developed.
Volume Calculation • By taking the seed points we calculate the values of the volume. • Each particle is given a label and area is calculated in each slice and all areas are calculated for the same label and volume is calculated. • We fit the best ellipsoid into the segmented objects and find the radius . And display min and max radius.
Future work • Working on density and texture calculation. • And to develop a final plugin where no user input is required and all the process is automated.
