Abstract

Microscopic imaging has many applications in biological experiments. It is important to determine the cell locations in an image before other analysis tasks take place. In this paper, we propose a novel method to obtain cell and membrane segmentation based on the combination of k nearest neighbor clustering and biological morphology constraints. First, we produce preliminary segmentation with the watershed transformation. Then the segmentation results are optimized based on the morphological characteristics of the membrane. This method provides us with well-segmented cells and membranes, which significantly reduces errors in cell image analysis.
