Abstract
The present techniques provide for the processing of color tissue images based on image segmentation. In an exemplary embodiment, the color and texture features of pixels in a tissue image are used to generate a matrix of feature vectors. A subset of feature vectors is selected from the matrix of feature vectors and a set of colors and textures are derived using the tissue image and the subset of feature vectors. An initial segmented tissue image is then generated from this set of colors and textures.
