Software
A number of our software solutions were created for Max Planck Institute of Cell Biology and Genetics and cover a wide range of image processing problems, for example cell segmentation, determination of the mitotic index, cell tracking in images from fluorescence/confocal/phase contrast microscopy.

Recent projects
Cervical cancer diagnosis
Towards rapid cervical cancer diagnosis | More
The main research objective was the development of a computer-aided system that supports the cervical cancer diagnosis. The core of the system was defined by a combination of different image processing algorithms that analyze images of cytological smears acquired by phase-contrast microscopes.

Contact endoscopy of the larynx
Contact endoscopy of the larynx | More
Contact endoscopy is a technique of obtaining detailed magnified images of living epithelium using a modified glass rod lens endoscope placed on the surface of the tissue. Our method automatically detects larynx pathological nuclei.

Mitotic index determination
Multimodal image analysis | More
Mitotic index is a key parameter describing the mitosis. Automatic determination of this parameter directly from microscopy image is crucial in many biological experiments. We have been developing an algorithm that makes use of multimodality (time lapse movies with phase contrast and fluorescence images) and detects three types of cells: normal, mitotic and dead ones.
