You wouldn’t dream of downhill skiing without a rating system. The beginners can stay off the tough slopes and the pros get to debate whether the black run of Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin Pallavicini is tougher than any double diamond at Breckenridge.  We need the same rating system in image analysis.

The limits of histology pattern recognition – glomeruli H&Es

January 16, 2010 – 1:51 pm

Detecting glomeruli is an important first step in a number of image analysis applications in renal health and toxicology. Unfortunately, it is one of the hardest applications for histology pattern recognition. In this post, I will discuss a reallife example of the steps used to do histology pattern recognition with Genie., to illustrate where automated [...]
