Firstly, similar to Zhang’s split technique [1] relied on multiple random splits at each iteration

EM operation
Split Algorithm
Error distribution
Lately, we developed an error-based SMEM (eSMEM) which is deterministic, repeatable, more efficient.
A collection of the error that belongs to each mixture component at each pixel site

Regeneration of muscle tissue
• Research on a novel technique that uses electrical stimulation to control the growth of muscle cells through conductive polymer materials.
To assess the performance of various processes, we must measure ‘muscle cell density’ quantitatively.Which requires the classification of:
Cell (with only one nucleus)&
Fibres (with multiple nuclei inside cell body)

Skeletal muscle cells & fibres
Cell body(segmentation of the overlapped cell bodies)
Nuclei(Using GMM and optimized with eSMEM)
Skeletal cells & fibres
The number of nuclei in each cell/fibre
Segmentation of the cell/fibre (especially the overlapped cells and fibres)

Future work
Organize the algorithms as plug-in tools for the software that the biologists used (like ‘IGOR Pro’).
Run more experiments to further examine the performance of the techniques and submit the dissertation in April.
