| Abstract: | A plant chromosome image analysis CHROM. HUK software system has been developed in the light of the theory of image analysis and recognition and applied in karyotype automated analysis of Xizang wild barley (Hordeum agriocrithon Aberg var. nigrum) and Cupressus gigantea Cheng et L. K. Fu. The main features of automated analysis include the pre-processing of chromosome image, determinating peak-valley threshold of chromosome, separation of overlapping chromosome, evaluation of centre line of chromosome,limit erotion recognition of position of centromere and second constric, extraction of characterictic parameters of chromosome and karyotype analysis. The vast amount of data obtained could be stored, operated and used for further statistical analysis. According to the estimation in the 95% confidence interval and the tree type sort, the chromosome were paired and sorted. In the meantime, a karyogram and an idiogram of karyotype were generated automatically through computerization. |
