Abstract

See full text

The present invention discloses a method for finding a cell nucleus of a target cell from a cell image, wherein the cell image includes the target cell and at least one variation cell, and the target cell includes cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. The method includes steps of: (a) processing the cell image via an image processor such that the cytoplasm, the cell nucleus and the variation cell have different shades of color; (b) demarcating the outlines of the cytoplasm, the cell nucleus and the variation cell; (c) calculating geometrical reference points of the outlines; (d) calculating the distances from the geometrical reference point of the cytoplasm outline to the geometrical reference point of the cell nucleus outline and to the geometrical reference points of the variation cell outlines; and (e) finding a specific geometrical reference point having a shortest distance to locate a specific outline corresponding to the specific geometrical reference point as the cell nucleus.
