Small experimental GUI software developed to test polygon fitting technique with thresholding to extract single pollen pictures from a single microscopic image. It heavily relies on BoofCV libraries to work and more information about thresholding in BoofCV can be found here and is also extended from a previous attempt at pollen segmentation using pure binary thresholding.
This software exposes 5 parameters in a user-friendly UI with automatic updates to the preview window, marking each detection with a precise contour (in red) and a bounding box (in green), each can be used further to improve detection.
The main difference from PolenDetector is: filtering the binary thresholded image with an attempt to fit a polygon around the pollen with restraints on minimum vertex distance and angle (in an attempt to avoid selecting stuck pollen grains like shown below)
- Java 1.7
- BoofCV library
- Maven
Execute with java -jar polen_segmentation.jar, no parameters needed.
I have no plans on updating this project (there are multiple things that could be improved) since it started just as a proof of concept on thresholding as a segmentation technique in pollen images that showed to be still imprecise alone without any feature checking.
