Segmentation of overlapping cells in cervical smears based on spatial relationship and Overlapping Translucency Light Transmission Model
作者：
Highlights：
• We obtain the fragments by coarse segmentation and base these fragments to achieve the result.
• We propose Overlapping Translucency Light Transmission Model.
• We derive overlap color measurement formula, and provide overlapping fragment judge's theory.
• We propose spatial relationship of the non-overlapping and overlapping areas.
• Our method can also be applied in segmentation of translucent object from other images.
