Problems solved by technology

[0005] Disadvantages: Since the selection of seed points is through continuous erosion or through distance transformation first and then a certain domain value selection, it is very sensitive to weak edges
[0008] Disadvantages: The rules for region merging are difficult to determine, which may lead to over-segmentation
[0011] Disadvantages: Since the selection of the concave point is based on the contour, the algorithm is extremely sensitive to burrs and noise on the contour
[0014] Disadvantages: The cells in the actual situation are often not round, the red blood cells are hollow, and the monocytes often have vacuoles, which will lead to segmentation errors; in addition, the adhesion of white blood cells and

Example Embodiment

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] A white blood cell image segmentation method includes the following steps:

[0034] (1) Extraction of the initial region of interest (ROI):

[0035] ① Take the green component map of the color image of stained white blood cells as the input image.

[0036] ②The input image is reduced in resolution.

[0037] The size of the resolution reduction multiple dRate depends on the median cellSize of the length and width of the smallest cell in the image. In this example, dRate=Round(cellSize / 10), and Round() is the rounding function.

[0038] ③ Count the histogram of the input image after resolution reduction.

[0039] ④ Obtain the gray level Hmax where the nth pixel of the histogram is located;

[0040] n=pRate×(input image length / dRate)×(input image width / dRate), pRate is the ratio of the cell pixel to the entire input image pixel, which can be obtained by prior knowledge.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for segmenting a white blood cell image, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: firstly carrying out binaryzation on the green component picture of a color white blood cell image to obtain an initial interested region based on a significance attention mechanism of human vision; carrying out cancellation and mergence on a region by labeling the initial interested region to obtain an adaptive significance window of each cell; and finally realizing segmentation of nucleuses and cytoplasm in each adaptive significance window by a boundary-extending method. The segmentation method is used to realize the fast segmentation of the white blood cells, particularly the accurate segmentation for high-capacity pictures which are the non-standard dyed and contain overlapped cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cell recognition technology of normal human peripheral blood white blood cell images, in particular to a method for automatic separation of non-standard stained normal human peripheral blood adhesion white blood cell images containing many cells and background impurities. Background technique [0002] Blood cell image segmentation and classification recognition is one of the hot topics in medical imaging analysis technology and application research in recent years. The purpose of this technical research is to use computer to simulate the visual analysis process of human blood test experts, automatically extract and calculate various morphological parameters of cells, and then classify and analyze cells, so as to improve the accuracy and robustness of medical imaging analysis applications , intelligent and real-time, to meet the needs of high-efficiency intelligent and automatic application of blood routine examination. Only ...
