The literature mainly focuses on cell nuclei segmentation in histological images, while this paper introduces an automatic segmentation method for analyzing the bone vascular network, demonstrating its efficiency and feasibility compared to other methods.
The literature provides many works that focused on cell nuclei segmentation in histological images. However, automatic segmentation of bone canals is still a less explored field. In this sense, this paper presents a method for automatic segmentation approach to assist specialists in the analysis of the bone vascular network. We evaluated the method on an image set through sensitivity, specificity and accuracy metrics and the Dice coefficient. We compared the results with other automatic segmentation methods (neighborhood valley emphasis (NVE), valley emphasis (VE) and Otsu). Results show that our approach is proved to be more efficient than comparable methods and a feasible alternative to analyze the bone vascular network.
