Wihin micoscopy, his ask is faciliaed using fluoescence cell sains, and segmenaion is ofen he fis sep in such appoaches. Due o he complex naue of cell issues and poblems inheen o micoscopy, unsupevised mining appoaches of cluseing can be incopoaed in he segmenaion of cells. In his sudy, we have developed and evaluaed he pefomance of muliple unsupevised daa mining echniques in cell image segmenaion. We adap fou disincive, ye complemenay, mehods fo unsupevised leaning, including hose based on k-means cluseing,, Osu s heshold, and. Validaion measues ae defined, and he pefomance of he echniques is evaluaed boh quaniaively and qualiaively using synheic and ecenly published eal daa. Expeimenal esuls demonsae ha k-means, Osu s heshold, and pefom similaly, and have moe pecise segmenaion esuls han. We epo ha has highe ecall values and lowe pecision esuls fom unde-segmenaion due o is Gaussian model assumpion. We also demonsae ha hese mehods need spaial infomaion o segmen complex eal cell images wih a high degee of efficacy, as expeced in many medical infomaics applicaions. Keywods: Fluoescence micoscope cell image, segmenaion, cluseing,, heshold,.. INRODUCION Micoscopic imaging is nealy ubiquious in seveal medical infomaics disciplines, including bu no limied o, cance infomaics, neuo-infomaics, and clinical decision suppo in ophhalmology. While fluoescence micoscopes pemi he collecion of lage, high-dimensional cell image daases, hei manual pocessing is inefficien, iepoducible, ime-consuming, and eo-pone, pomping he design and developmen of auomaed, efficien, and obus pocessing o allow analysis fo high-houghpu applicaions. he sensiive and specific deecion of pahological changes in cells equies he accuae measuemen of geomeic paamees. Pevious eseach has shown ha geomeic feaues, such as shape and aea, indicae cell mophological changes duing apoposis []. As a pecuso o geomeic analysis, segmenaion is ofen equied in he fis pocessing sep. Cell image segmenaion is challenging due o he complex mophological cells, illuminan eflecion, and inheen micoscopy noises. he chaaceisic poblems include poo conas beween cell gay levels and backgound, a high numbe of occluding cells in a single view, and excess homogeneiy in cell images due o iegula saining among cells and issues. ypically, image segmenaion algoihms ae based on local image infomaion, including edge o gadien, level se *Addess coespondence o his auho a he Daa Mining Reseach Laboaoy, Depamen of Compue Science, College of Engineeing and Science, Louisiana ech Univesiy, Ruson, LA 77, USA; el: ; Fax: ; sdua@laech.edu [], hisogam [3], cluses [4], and pio knowledge [5]. hese segmenaion mehods have been boadly implemened in medical imaging applicaions [6]. he cuen segmenaion algoihms used in cell images include seeded waeshed [7], Voonoi-based algoihm [8], hisogambased cluseing [9] o heshold [0] and acive conou []. Waeshed algoihms can spli he conneced cells bu can lead o ove-segmenaion. Hisogam-based image segmenaion is unpaameic and based on unsupevised cluseing. he hisogam is used o appoximae he pobabiliy densiy disibuion of he image inensiy. Pixels in one image ae paiioned ino seveal non-ovelapping inensiy egions. and ae exensions of hisogam segmenaion. In [9], he disibuion of image inensiy is modeled as a andom vaiable, which is appoximaed by a mixue Gaussian model. Due o he lack of inensiy disibuion infomaion in an image, he model can lead o significan bias. of he model is compuaionally efficien and easy o implemen, bu pefoms pooly in finding he opimal heshold beween cluses in he hisogam. Osu s opimal heshold is obained by minimizing ina-class vaiance and has been applied in nucleus segmenaion []. Level se and acive conou ae applied wih abiay ineacion enegy in ode o spli he conneced cells in []. his mehod is no meaningful fo isolaed cells and makes he cell segmenaion dependen on cell sizes. In [8], cells ae segmened accoding o he defined meic, he Voonoi disance beween pixels and seeds. his meic includes he infomaion fom image edges and ine-pixel disance wihin he image. he paameic acive conou and /0 00 Benham Open

Unsupevised leaning can be adaped and developed fo nuclei and cell image segmenaion due o he inheen coheen deecion and decomposiion challenges in he deecion and sepaaion of segmens. Howeve, i is difficul o selec a obus and epoducible mehod due o he lack of he compaaive evaluaion of hose algoihms. his poblem aises paially due o he lack of benchmak daa o because of manually oulined gound uh. his pauciy of pefomance evaluaion elevaes he difficuly fo medical scieniss o selec a suiable segmenaion mehod in medical image applicaions. Someimes, mehods ae seleced based on inuiion and expeience; e.g., Osu s heshold is used boadly in nuclei image segmenaion. Moeove, no boadly accepable mehod can addess he nuclei and cell image segmenaion poblems in a divese ange of applicaions accuaely and obusly. Recenly, seveal synheic (e.g. [4]) and benchmak cellula image daa (e.g. [5]) have been made publicly available. In his pape, we pesen and evaluae he pefomance of seveal unsupevised daa mining echniques in cell image segmenaion. We adap fou disincive, ye complemenay, mehods fo unsupevised leaning, including hose based on k-means cluseing,, Osu s heshold, and. Validaion measues ae defined o compae and conas he pefomance of hese mehods using publicly available daa. I should be noed ha he segmenaion algoihms ae ypical epesenaives of mehods based on hisogam, model, heshold, and acive conou. We only focus on segmenaion mehods using low-level image infomaion, such as pixel inensiy and image gadien. epesens boh he snake and level se echnologies [4]. he esuls pesened in his pape can guide domain uses o selec suiable segmenaion mehods in medical imaging applicaions..

We popose a gay-level ansfomaion funcion in he fom ( I )= I fo he above algoihm o implemen k-means segmenaion in cell image I, whee is a posiive consancy..3. Expecaion Maximizaion Mehod he Expecaion Maximizaion () algoihm assumes ha an image consiss of a numbe of gay-level egions, which can be descibed by paameic daa models. When he hisogam of he gay levels is egaded as an esimae of he pobabiliy densiy funcion, he paamees of he funcion can be esimaed fo each gay-level egion using he hisogam. he obecive of he algoihm is o find he maximum likelihood esimaes of he paamees in he funcion.

If he image is a gey image, hesholds ae ineges in he ange of [0, L-], whee L- is he maximum inensiy value. Nomally, his mehod is used o segmen an image ino wo egions: backgound and obec, wih one heshold. he following is he equaion fo heshold segmenaion: I B, if I ( x, y)> ( x, y)= 0,if I ( x, y). (8). (9) In he above equaion, I B is he segmenaion esulan. he mos famous heshold mehod was poposed by Osu in []. he Osu s mehod finds he opimal heshold among all he inensiy values fom 0 o L- and chooses he value ha poduces he minimum wihin-class vaiance wihin as he opimal heshold value.
