Abstract
A cytological image processing device, a method for quantifying characteristics of cytological image and a non-transitory computer readable medium thereof are provided. The cytological image processing device executes the method including the steps: loading a cytological image with a plurality of pixels; removing a background part from the cytological image according to at least one of a plurality of color attributes of each pixel of the cytological image in a color space to obtain a background-subtracted image; dividing the background-subtracted image into a nuclear part and a cytoplasmic part; detecting a plurality of edge pixels in the background-subtracted image to segment a plurality of nuclear blocks in the background-subtracted image; generating a parameter set according to the nuclear blocks; and generating an output image by visualizing the background-subtracted image.
