Item Open Access Carcinoma cell line discrimination in microscopic images using unbalanced wavelets(IEEE, 2012-03) Keskin, Furkan; Suhre, Alexander; Erşahin, Tüli,; Çetin Atalay, Rengül; Çetin, A. EnisCancer cell lines are widely used for research purposes in laboratories all over the world. In this paper, we present a novel method for cancer cell line image classification, which is very costly by conventional methods. The aim is to automatically classify 14 different classes of cell lines including 7 classes of breast and 7 classes of liver cancer cells. Microscopic images containing irregular carcinoma cell patterns are represented by randomly selected subwindows which possibly correspond to foreground pixels. For each subwindow, a correlation descriptor utilizing the fractional unbalanced wavelet transform coefficients and several morphological attributes as pixel features is computed. Directionally selective textural features are preferred primarily because of their ability to characterize singularities at multiple orientations, which often arise in carcinoma cell lines. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel is employed for final classification. Over a dataset of 280 images, we achieved an accuracy of 88.2%, which outperforms the classical correlation based methods. © 2012 IEEE.Item Open Access Kanser tanısı için kolon bezlerinin matematiksel analizi(IEEE, 2009-04) Çığır, Celal; Sökmensüer, C.; Gündüz-Demir, ÇiğdemNeoplastic diseases including cancer cause organizational changes in tissues. Histopathological examination, which is routinely used for the diagnosis and grading of these diseases, relies on pathologists to identify such tissue changes under a microscope. However, as this examination mainly relies on the visual interpretation of pathologists, it may lead to a considerable amount of subjectivity. To reduce the subjectivity level, it is proposed to use computational methods that provide objective measures. These methods quantify the tissue changes associated with disease by defining features on tissue images. In this paper, colon glands are mathematically analyzed making use of different feature extraction approaches. In this analysis, morphological, intensity-based, and textural features are investigated and glands are classified using these features. Working on the images of 108 colon tissues of 36 patients, our experiments demonstrate that this classification leads to promising results for differentiating normal glands from the cancerous ones. ©2009 IEEE.
