A multiscale algorithm for nuclei extraction in pap smear images

作者：

Highlights：

• A evaluation of different classification algorithms and measures was performed.

• The detection of the cell nuclei is a basic step in the cervical cancer diagnosis.

• The proposed algorithm detects cervical cell nuclei with a precision up to 98%.

• The algorithm works in the best resolution according to the data characteristics.
