Spatially adaptive relaxation for active contour cell segmentation

This paper presents a segmentation framework in a high content screening (HCS) context based on variational snakes. We introduce a modified internal energy function for the snake evolution taking into account the different artifacts appearing in confocal microscopic images during a screening session. This framework is particularly well suited and efficient for nuclei segmentation, providing an accurate base for higher level image analysis.
