title: Fast automatic segmentation of nuclei in microscopy images of tissue sections.
abstract: In this paper, we present a segmentation method for nuclei in microscopy images of tissue sections. The proposed method is completely automatic and performs well in the conflicting aims of speed efficiency, detection accuracy and shape fitting. It proposes an efficient alternative to existing methods ([1], [4]), in achieving the three main usual segmentation steps: (i) background extraction, (ii) seed finding and (iii) seed growing. Eventually, some significant results are depicted and discussed.
