Abstract
Described herein are computationally efficient systems and methods for processing and analyzing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) images using texture filters that are based on the Hessian eigenvalues (e.g., eigenvalues of a square matrix of second-order partial derivatives) of each pixel or voxel. The original image may be a single image or a set of multiple images. In certain embodiments, the filtered images are used to calculate texture feature values for objects such as cells identified in the image. Once objects are identified, the filtered images can be used to classify the objects, for image segmentation, and/or to quantify the objects (e.g., via regression).
