The goal of the classification algorithms is to properly differentiate between each cell subtype using features. Following segmentation, features based on texture were extracted from the grayscale images, and features based on size and shape were extracted from the binary images (Table 1). We determined these were the most appropriate for our project from a wide variety discussed in literature. These features were used to train three different classifiers: SVM 1 vs 1, SVM 1 vs all, and a feedforward neural network.

Features extracted for classification algorithms
Grayscale Features Binary Features
Homogeneity of cell Ratio of area of nucleus to area of cell
Homogeneity of nucleus Area to perimeter ratio of cell
Contrast of cell Area to perimeter ratio of nucleus
Contrast of nucleus Circularity of cell
Entropy of cell Circularity of nucleus
Entropy of nucleus Compactness
