Nidek Technologies NAVIS-ENDO system • The ENDOsoftware is a module of the system for ophthalmology.
Biomedical images processing and analysis 2. Fourier analysis for the estimation of cell density on eye bank images of donor corneas
2250 cell/mm2 Fully automatic density estimation • AIM: • to develop a fully automatic technique for cell density estimation (no user intervention). • It must be without cell contour detection.
Frequency-based density estimation • A repetitive pattern of cell borders is clearly visible. • Spatial frequency of this pattern is proportional to cell density. • Frequency information is available through Fourier analysis. • Information from Fourier analysis can provide an estimation of cell density.
A circular band indicates that the endothelium image contains a repetitive pattern at a specific frequency. Spatial frequency is the radius of the band Frequency-based density estimation Gray-scale image of 2D-DFT log-magnitude. Radius of circular band can be used to estimate cell density.
Position of second peak provides estimated frequency f of cell borders. Frequency-based density estimation
