Early diagnosis is vital for the early treatment of the cancerous area. Computer-aided programs allow for the early diagnosis of unhealthy cells that specialist pathologists diagnose due to efforts. In this study, clustering and superpixel segmentation techniques were used to detect cell nuclei in high-resolution histopathology images automatically. As a result of the study, the successful performances of the segmentation algorithms were analyzed and evaluated. It is seen that better success is obtained in the Watershed and FCM algorithms in highresolution histopathological images used. Quickshift and SLIC methods gave better results in terms of precision. It is seen that there are k-Means and FCM algorithms that provide the best performance in F measure (F-M), and the correct negative rate (TNR) is more successful in Quickshift, kMeans, and SLIC methods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSegmentationHistopathological image analysisSuperpixelsImage processingArticle9330430947196410.17694/bajece.864266
