More intermediate results. The original phase contrast image is shown in Figure 3(a). (a) After applying watershed method on the combination image of the blue and green regions in Figure 3(g). (b) The combination of the holes in the orange and crimson regions of Figure 3(g). (c) After applying Otsu method with three thresholds locally to the green section of Figure 3(g). (d) After applying Otsu method with three thresholds locally to the orange section of Figure 3(g). (e)–(g) All three binary images called raw segmentation results are generated by three different strategies under HMA framework. (h) The classification result of Figure 5(e) after SVM filtering.
