Computer recognition of binucleation with overlapping in epithelial cells.
A technique for computer recognition of binucleation with overlapping in epithelial cells was derived. The computer program uses analytic features related to nuclear contour only. The feature set includes moments, Fourier transform features and linguistic features. The algorithm works satisfactorily in instances where the human eye would detect the presence of two nuclei at first glance.
