摘要: A robot for the automatic screening of cervical smears will be accepted by cytologists only if it is both accurate and fast. The iteration neighborhood transformations made possible to reach these contradictory targets. Several modules our program are described: autofocusing, segmentation nuclei, selection alarms, elimination artefacts, calibration cells. Results on 1459 slides presented.
