Análisis morfológico de muestras de HUVEC empleando funciones basadas en geometría integral
Palabras clave:
Clasificación de formas, Geometría integral, Angiogénesis, HUVECResumen
El análisis morfológico de estructuras en imágenes digitales de muestras biológicas reviste gran interés para el mundo científico. En la rama de la medicina puede ofrecer resultados muy útiles en el estudio de diversas enfermedades o condiciones en el ser humano, así como en la valoración de los posibles efectos de diferentes tipos de intervenciones como agentes farmacológicos. En este trabajo nos centramos en la posibilidad de obtener una clasificación morfológica eficiente en imágenes de culturas in vitro bidimensionales de células endoteliales de venas de cordón umbilical humano (HUVEC) bajo la influencia de la b2 - glicoproteína I (b2GPI) para estudio de la angiogénesis. Se muestran los excelentes resultados obtenidos en la clasificación supervisada de células en circulares, deformadas elongadas (elongadas) o deformadas poco elongadas (otras deformaciones), empleando funciones basadas en geometría integral para el análisis morfológico. Los bordes celulares se detectaron empleando métodos de contornos activos y se utilizó el método k-NN para clasificación con un proceso de validaci ón cruzada de 5x1 para estimación del error. Las muestras fueron preparadas por especialistas, que además determinaron los tipos de células de cada clase.
