DOMAIN SEGMENTATION AND ANALYSIS

摘要

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for analysis of images of cells and extraction of biologically significant features from the cell images, such as features located in cell boundary regions and cell-cell junctions. The extracted features may be correlated with particular conditions induced by biologically-active agents with which cells have been treated, thereby enabling the automated analysis of cells based on features that can be discovered in the cell boundary regions and cell-cell junctions of the images.
