ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for digitally analyzing continuous visual images, particularly with reference to the detection of mammalian cell mitotic events is disclosed. The visual images are analyzed by first extracting high frequency picture components, threshold comparison of such components and probing for annular objects indicative of putative mitotic cells. The detection of annulae is performed by an algorithm for recognizing rings of differential radii and compensating for other variations. Thereafter, spatial and temporal relationships between such objects is stored and compared to determine whether cell division occurred.
