desmoplastic stroma reaction (H&E staining).
1.3 Segmentation
A variety of digital cameras may be used to obtain photographs that can be further processed
by a computer. Digitalization will be followed by segmentation and classification which is
performed to break the images into parts, objects or patches with similar properties (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3:
The real histological slide depicted in Fig. 1, now segmented. The image contains 1,753 classified
objects. Most parts of the desmoplastic stroma reaction however are not segmented as they will be
modeled mathematically.
