Image Decoloring via Optimized Predominant Component Analysis for Segmentation of Microscopic Yeast Cell Images

Abstract

Within the pipeline of microscopic yeast cell image operations, a problem of decoloring is addressed. The approach proposed by Grundland et al. is analyzed and improved. A special color phantom for yeast cell images is constructed. An optimum combination of two controlling parameters of this decoloring method is found for phantom segmentation, by precision and recall characteristics in comparison to Ground truth.
