Abstract
This paper describes automatic analysis of microscopic mast cell images using network of synchronized oscillators. This network allows for detection of image objects and their boundaries along with evaluation of some geometrical object parameters, like their area and perimeter. Estimation of such mast cells’ parameters is very important in description of both physiological and pathological processes in the human organism. It was also demonstrated, that oscillator networks is able to perform basic morphological operations along with binary image segmentation. Analysis of sample mast cell image was presented and discussed.
