Automatic quantification of the subcellular localization of chimeric GFP protein supported by a two-level Naive Bayes classifier

作者:

Highlights:

• Automatic detection and counting of cells overexpressing GFP-chimeric proteins.

• Confocal microscopic images show two kinds of cells plus some objects which must be discarded.

• A trained specialist must distinguish and count manually the cells of each kind.

• The paper proposes a two level Naïve Bayes classifier to carry out this task automatically.

• Results show that the proposed method is valid, and can avoid experts the manual quantification.
