Fast Segmentation of SubCellular Organelles

Segmentation and counting sub-cellular structure of size range 0.1 μm to 1 μm is a very challenging problem even for medical experts. Image acquisition time for the state-of-the-art fluorescence microscopes is about 1-5 seconds. A fast and efficient method for segmentation and counting of sub-cellular structure is proposed for concurrent post-processing of fluorescence microscopy images. The proposed method uses a hybrid combination of several image processing techniques and is effective in segmenting the sub-cellular structures in a fast and effective manner.
