Abstract
A new morphological feature referred to herein as profile weighted intensity feature is provided, useful for automated classification of objects, such as cells, that are depicted in digital images. In certain embodiments, the profile weighted intensity feature is determined by automatically identifying a border of a cell in an input image, determining a distance image for the cell, computing a profile function for the cell, and computing a mean intensity of at least a portion of the input image weighted by the profile function for the cell.
