Study of Segmentation Algorithm Based on Corneal Endothelial Cell Images

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we study an an algorithm for accurately extracting the outline of Corneal Endothelial Cell images according to the structure and feature of the corneal endothelial cells. Firstly, we reduce the influence of uneven exposure to segmentation effect using histogram equalization. Secondly, reduce the image noise by Gaussian filtering. At last, research the classical algorithm of image segmentation through the contrast experiment and then select a simple and effective local NiBlack dynamic threshold algorithm. The experimental result shows that this processing method is not only simple, but also can segment the corneal endothelial cell images clearly, and provides a good foundation of data for accurate identification of the following images.
