Machine vision system for diagnostic histopathology.

In a machine vision system for the diagnostic assessment of histopathologic sections, human diagnostic knowledge and human ability to recognize components in a complex image need to be emulated. This is attempted by three integrated expert systems, supported by a multiprocessor computer with data-driven, dynamically reconfigurable architecture.
