Abstract :
The segmentation of images which consist of multiple objects (sperm cells) is discussed. The process must be fully automatic. Due to the poor quality of the images, it is of greater importance to detect than to recognize the objects, which must then be tracked with a multiple target tracking algorithm. Possible solutions are presented
