• Determining the severity and potential aggressiveness of breast cancer is an important step in the determination of the treatment options for a patient. Mitosis activity is one of the main components in breast cancer severity grading. Currently, mitosis counting is a laborious, prone to processing errors, done manually by a pathologist.

  This paper presents a novel approach for automatic mitosis detection, where promising candidates are selected from a superpixel segmentation of the image and classified using an ensemble classifier created from a selection from a pool of different color spaces, different features vector
