Abstract
Automated nuclei area/number estimation utilizes a two-stage estimation framework-area estimation first followed by number estimation. After determining area information, each local patch's shape features are able to be extracted to define a local voting rule. The resulting voting score determines the strength of each local voting peak. The number of voting peaks is exactly the number of nuclei.
