Colon cancer diagnosis on digital tissue images

The purpose of this project is to develop a software which can be an aid for difficult colon cancer diagnosis and using this system the patients can be helped with an early diagnosis. The aim can be achieved with processing and analysing microscopic tissue images. This paper contains the basic knowledges related to the project and the description of the developed system. The implemented algorithms determines the locations and features of glands and save these information for the subsequent diagnosis. One of the most important algorithm in this project is the Color Structure Code, which performs a color based segmentation and the output is the starting point of the further process.
