Histogram Based Bacteria Colony Features Analysis

Abstract:

Features analysis is an important task which can significantly affect the performance of automatic bacteria colony picking. This paper presents a novel approach for adaptive colony segmentation by classifying the detected peaks of intensity histograms of images. The relevance and importance of these features can be determined in an improved support vector machine classifier using unascertained least square estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed unascertained support vector machine (USVM) has better recognition accuracy than the other state of the art techniques, and its training process takes less time than most of the traditional approaches presented in this paper.
