Abstract: The visual extraction of cellular, nuclear and tissue components from medical images is very vital in the diagnosis routine of different health related abnormalities and diseases. The objective of this work is to modify and efficiently combine different image processing methods supported by cascaded artificial neural networks in an automated system to perform segmentation analysis of medical microscopy images to extract nuclei located in either simple or complex clusters. The proposed system is applied on a publicly available data sets of microscopy nuclei cells. A GUI is designed and presented in this work to ease the analysis and screening of these images. The proposed system shows promising performance and reduced computational time cost. It is hoped that thus system and the corresponding GUI will construct platform base for several biomedical studies in the field of cellular imaging where further complex investigations and modelling of microscopy images could take place.
