Abstract:
A series of shape descriptors were developed for the morphometrical analysis of cell nuclei. These included five descriptors measuring ellipticity, two measuring concavity, and one measuring the bending energy of a contour. These different shape descriptors were compared using a test sample of 1800 contours of cell nuclei.
