A simple and effective system for Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis

During the last years some computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) software have appeared to assist the laboratory andrologist labour, but the detailed method of these systems have been hidden to the scientific community because of commercial interests. In this work a simple and efficient CASA system is presented from the computer vision researcher point of view to amend the absence of technical papers in this field. The proposed system measures the concentration and motility of spermatozoa using simple but effective computer vision techniques and generates its results according to the WHO standards in andrology.
