BIOCAT: a pattern recognition platform for customizable biological image classification and annotation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pattern recognition algorithms are useful in bioimage informatics applications such as quantifying cellular and subcellular objects, annotating gene expressions, and classifying phenotypes. To provide effective and efficient image classification and annotation for the ever-increasing microscopic images, it is desirable to have tools that can combine and compare various algorithms, and build customizable solution for different biological problems. However, current tools often offer a limited solution in generating user-friendly and extensible tools for annotating higher dimensional images that correspond to multiple complicated categories.

Results

We develop the BIOimage Classification and Annotation Tool (BIOCAT). It is able to apply pattern recognition algorithms
