BACKGROUND: Colour is the most important feature used in quantitative
immunohistochemistry (IHC) image analysis; IHC is used to provide information
relating to aetiology and to confirm malignancy. METHODS: Statistical modelling
is a technique widely used for colour detection in computer vision. We have
developed a statistical model of colour detection applicable to detection of
stain colour in digital IHC images. Model was first trained by massive colour
pixels collected semi-automatically. To speed up the training and detection
processes, we removed luminance channel, Y channel of YCbCr colour space and
chose 128 histogram bins which is the optimal number. A maximum likelihood
classifier is used to classify pixels in digital slides into positively or
negatively stained pixels automatically. The model-based tool was developed
within ImageJ to quantify targets identified using IHC and histochemistry.
RESULTS: The purpose of evaluation was to compare the computer model with human
evaluation. Several large datasets were prepared and obtained from human
oesophageal cancer, colon cancer and liver cirrhosis with different colour
stains. Experimental results have demonstrated the model-based tool achieves more
accurate results than colour deconvolution and CMYK model in the detection of
brown colour, and is comparable to colour deconvolution in the detection of pink
colour. We have also demostrated the proposed model has little inter-dataset
variations. CONCLUSIONS: A robust and effective statistical model is introduced
in this paper. The model-based interactive tool in ImageJ, which can create a
visual representation of the statistical model and detect a specified colour
automatically, is easy to use and available freely at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/ihc-toolbox/index.html . Testing to the tool
by different users showed only minor inter-observer variations in results.
