ABSTRACT: Chromosome segmentation is the most important step in
the automatic chromosome analysis system. Since in almost every metaphase image
partial touching and overlapping of chromosomes are a
common phenomenon, how to separate these chromosomes correctly is a difficult
yet vital problem. A number of attempts have been made to deal with this
problem. This paper is focused on these attempts. Some algorithms are
investigated. The principle and the realization of these
algorithms are analyzed. Results of these algorithms are compared and discussed.
