  • Abstract
    The aim of this study, nuclei base automatic detection of cancerous regions via determination of DNA-rich regions in high definition histology images. In the study; DNA-rich regions were determined using k-means clustering and some mathematical morphology operations, the diseased regions were diagnosed using morphological characteristics via quasi-supervised learning.It´s observed that quasi-supervised learning method successfully separates cancerous chromatin regions from others successfully with experiments of colon cross-section histology images.
