  • Cell monitoring device, cell monitoring method and program thereof
    Patent number: 9477875
    Abstract: A cell monitoring device includes an outline detecting section that detects edge pixels from a cell image in a captured image of cells arranged in a single layer and generates an edge image including the detected edge pixels; a pigmented region detecting section that detects pixels of a pigmented region of the cell image in the captured image, and generates a pigmented region image including the detected pixels of the pigmented region; and an image merging section that, in a merged image obtained by overlaying the edge image and the pigmented region image together, detects a cell image region and a background image region in the captured image based on the pixel intensity variance and thus detects the cell image region in the captured image.
    Type: Grant
