Abstract
Computer scene segmentation of touching cell images in bone marrow, on the basis of color information, is achieved using digitized scans at three different wavelengths of light. With trivariate histograms and Euler's coordinate transformation, it is possible cytophotometrically to isolate, on the basis of chromatic differences, individual heterogeneous cells located in cell groups. The ability of the described computer methods to isolate correctly the touching cell images is determined by visual comparison of the cells as seen in the microscope and the computer-generated displays of the scanned and segmented scenes.Keywords
