Interactive Real-time Image Analysis System for Distant Operation 2005 .txt text/plain 2415 129 43 This paper reports on the development and implementation of an integrated and interactive system for cell analysis featuring remote operation and real-time analysis for generating analytical data from microscopic images. Advancement of image processing techniques is a welcome adjunct in electronmicroscopic cell analysis and is the object of increasing interest in research for the enhancement of accuracy in disease diagnosis. The emergence and rapid spread of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) has dramatically emphasised the need for both collaborative international networks [4] and linking of personnel from distant locations with laboratories monitoring and analysing test samples of the causative agent by electron microscopy. Remote users would derive considerable benefit from a system endowed with facilities enabling image acquisition, camera control, real-time monitoring, automated pattern recognition for cell feature extraction and quantitative result generation. The techniques used aid in image enhancement and provide feature highlighting needed for quantitative report generation on each cell object detected in the microscopic image. ./cache/cord-017210-5nc8f3a4.txt ./txt/cord-017210-5nc8f3a4.txt
