The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Tissue analysis is essential for dealing with a number of problems in cancer research. This research tries to address the problem of identifying normal, dysplastic and cancerous colonic mucosa by means of Texture analysis techniques. A genetic algorithm is used to interpret the results of those operations. Image-processing operations and genetic algorithms are both tasks requiring vast processing power. PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), a message-passing library for distributed programming has been selected for implementing a parallel classification system. To further enhance PVM functionality a C++ object-oriented "PVM wrapper" was constructed.
