Abstract

We present a novel hidden Markov model (HMM) based approach to segment and track the lymph vessel in confocal microscopy images. The vessel borders are parameterised by radial basis functions (RBFs) so that the number of tracking points are reduced to a very few. The proposed method tracks the hidde...
