Abstract
A region segmented image data creating system for histopathological images is provided. The region segmented image data creating system is capable of creating region segmented image data required to generating a region segmented image. A first bi-level image data creating sectioncreates first bi-level image data, in which nucleus regions can be discriminated from other regions, from histopathological image data. A second bi-level image data creating sectioncreates second bi-level image data, in which a background regions can be discriminated from other regions, from the histopathological image data. A three-level image data creating sectionclarifies cytoplasm regions by computing a negative logical addition of the first bi-level image data and the second bi-level image data, and to create three-level image data as the region segmented image data.
