Abstract

The article describes the first module of a computer system for human sperm assessment. Different image acquisition methods were described and optical microscope with bright optic was selected as the most appropriate one. Image enhancement and processing methods were selected and customized to achieve effective sperm cells recognition and tracking. Trajectories of sperm cells and their movement parameters were found, calculated and classified in compliance with WHO standards.
