Image-based cell/colony analyses offer promising solutions to compensate for the lack of quality control (QC) tools for noninvasive monitoring of cultured cells, a regulatory challenge in regenerative medicine. Here, the feasibility of two image analysis algorithms, optical flow and normalised cross-correlation, to noninvasively measure cell/colony motion in human primary oral keratinocytes for screening the proliferative capacity of cells in the early phases of cell culture were examined. We applied our software to movies converted from 96 consecutive time-lapse phase-contrast images of an oral keratinocyte culture. After segmenting the growing colonies, two indices were calculated based on each algorithm. The correlation between each index of the colonies and their proliferative capacity was evaluated. The software was able to assess cell/colony motion noninvasively, and each index reflected the observed cell kinetics. A positive linear correlation was found between cell/colony motion and proliferative capacity, indicating that both algorithms are potential tools for QC.

OpenCV (tool)

RRID:SCR_015526

Computer vision and machine learning software library which provides a common infrastructure for computer vision applications. The algorithms within the library can be used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements and moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database, and follow eye movements, recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented reality. It has C++, C, Python, Java and MATLAB interfaces.
