  • Automated stereology for determining tissue characteristics
    Patent number: 11803968
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated stereology are provided. A method can include providing an imager for capturing a Z-stack of images of a three-dimensional (3D) object; constructing extended depth of field (EDF) images from the Z-stack of images; performing a segmentation method on the EDF images including estimating a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), performing morphological operations, performing watershed segmentation, constructing Voronoi diagrams and performing boundary smoothing; and determining one or more stereology parameters such as number of cells in a region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2023
    Assignees: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA, STEREOLOGY RESOURCE CENTER, INC.
    Inventors: Peter Randolph Mouton, Hady Ahmady Phoulady, Dmitry Goldgof, Lawrence O. Hall
