Abstract
A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed of enhancing cell images for analysis. The method includes performing a multi-thresholding process on a cell image to generate a plurality of images of the cell image; smoothing each component within each of the plurality of images; merging the smoothed components into a merger layer; classifying each of the components of the merged layer into convex cell regions and concave cell regions; combining the concave cell regions with a cell boundary for each of the corresponding concave cell regions to generate a smoothed shape profile for each of the concave cell regions; and generating an output image by combining the convex cell regions with the concave cell regions with smoothed shape profiles.
