TMA Vessel Segmentation Based on Color and Morphological Features: Application to Angiogenesis Research

Figure 9

CAIMAN application. (1st row) original images: (a) and (b) are images from our database and (c) is an example image provided by CAIMAN with a less-lighted caption. (2nd row) segmentation performed by CAIMAN (green line) which does not detect small or too large vessels (d) and sometimes divide large vessels in small ones or segment blue areas as vessels (e). Their image is well segmented (f). (3rd row) results provided by AngioPath with the color-based segmentation and the radial analysis.
