Abstract

Experimental pattern recognition techniques for processing chromosome slides with a computer are described. The purpose of the computer program is twofold: to illuminate the basic mechanisms by which a human recognizes an object, such as a chromosome, and distinguishes it from other entities; and the employment of these mechanisms is an automatic and precise extraction of chromosome features.
