Abstract
Automatic nuclear segmentation. In an embodiment, a plurality of superpixels are determined in a digital image. For each of the superpixels, any superpixels located within a search radius from the superpixel are identified, and, for each unique local combination between the superpixel and any identified superpixels located within the search radius from the superpixel, a local score for the local combination is determined. One of a plurality of global sets of local combinations with an optimum global score is identified based on the determined local scores.
