Method for investigating live cells

摘要

A method for investigating live cells comprising the steps: acquiring an image of at least one unstained live cell, detecting texture in the image using a Dual Tree Complex Wavelet transform, deriving a feature vector for each pixel in the image based on the detected texture, forming a pseudo-fluorescent image by assigning labels to feature vectors, and segmenting the pseudo-fluorescent image by a typical segmentation method for fluorescent labeled images.
