A method and system for identifying anomalous cells includes an imaging
subsystem to generate a track file from collected images of cells, a
image processing subsystem to extract features from the track file and
generate feature sets for particular cells, and a discrimination
subsystem to generate a probabilistic belief function from the feature
sets to determine a probability that at least some of the cells are
anomalous. The images may include sample cells from a tissue sample. In
embodiments, the imaging subsystem may collect images from photographs
and may also collect images from a microscope. In embodiments, the
discrimination subsystem may perform both supervised and unsupervised
training to update the belief functions learning from known anomalous
cells and cells with know anomalous features to enhance its accuracy over
time.
