| Abstract | Cytogenetics is the preferred tool in the diagnosis of genetic diseases such as leukemia and detection of aquired chromosomal abnormalities, such as translocations, deletions, monosomies or trisomies, etc. The karyotyping is a set of procedures, in the scope of the cytogenetics, that produces a visual representation of the 46 chromosomes, paired and arranged in decreasing order of size, observed during the metaphase step of the cellular division (meiosis). The pairing is the procedure in the karyotyping process where the homologous chromosomes are paired according to dimensional, morphological and textural similarity criteria. This process is time consuming and is usually performed manually by experts. An automatic pairing algorithm is still an open problem. In this paper we present new contributions to solve the automatic pairing problem in the scope of the karyotyping process for leukemia diagnostic purposes. Besides the traditional features used to compute the similarity between chromosomes, such as, normalized area, ellipsis axis length and banding profiles, we introduce the Mutual Information (MI) measure to assess the textural similarity between two chromosomes. A supervised linear classifier is trained to combine the different features computed from each pair, aiming at the correct pairing (as given by experts). The resulting classifier is then employed, together with a combinatorial optimization algorithm based on A*, to compute the pairing for any given image. Simulations using real images, obtained with a Leicatrade Optical Microscope DM 2500, were performed. These images were manually paired by experts and used as a ground truth for the pairing process to assess the performance of the proposed classifier. Furthermore, qualitative comparisons with the results obtained with a Leicatrade CW 4000 Karyo software were also performed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
