Automatic classification of chromosomes in Q-band images

The manual analysis of the karyogram is a complex, wearing and time-consuming operation. It requires a very meticulous attention to details and calls for well-trained personnel. Even though existing commercial software packages provide a reasonable support to cytogenetists, they very often require human intervention to correct challenging situations.
