In this paper several new techniques for automated chromosome analysis are described:
one for piecewise-linear chromosome stretching and projection, two for accurately localizing …

A method for finding centromeres of chromosomes using band pattern information only is
described. Rather than using shape-related characteristics to identify the position of the …

Procedures for fully automatic location of chromosome axis and centromere in metaphase
chromosomes are described for a practical interactive chromosome analysis system that …

The most accurate methods for automatic analysis of chromosomes under a light
microscope today extract numerical features from band-pattern profiles along their …

If a chromosome classifier is constrained to produce fixed class sizes specified a priori then
classification accuracy may be improved compared with a simple maximum likelihood …

Human chromosomes, represented by band transition sequences, chromosome area,
centromeric index by area and centromeric index by density, were karyotyped by computer …

Chromosome analysis has inspired statistical and syntactic exercises for over a decade.
Structural analysis of morphological features of contour, contents and skeletons has been …

Classification of banded metaphase chromosomes is an important step in automated clinical
chromosome analysis. The authors have conducted a preliminary investigation of the …

An improved method for automatic chromosome analysis consists of a preprocessing
procedure and a boundary algorithm. The starting point is a transparency, converted by a …

The advent of new stains for chromosomes has increased the possibilities that useful
automated chromosome analysis can be implemented. The search for appropriate …
