Resumo


A análise de células cervicais a partir de exames de Papanicolaou convencionais ainda é um grande desafio. Diferentemente das imagens de exame em meio líquido, a citologia convencional possui muita sobreposição celular e diversas estruturas epiteliais que dificultam a implementação de metodologias computacionais que possam dar suporte à automação dos exames. Este trabalho compara o desempenho de duas arquiteturas de redes neurais convolucionais para segmentar núcleos celulares. A avaliação considerou o uso de um novo banco de dados de segmentação. Os resultados mostraram que nossa proposta consegue segmentar núcleos celulares a partir de imagens de citologia convencional com múltiplas células e sobreposição.
