A Hybrid Method for Automatic Counting of Microorganisms in Microscopic Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microscopic image analysis is an essential process to enable the automatic enumeration and quantitative analysis of microbial images. There are several system are available for numerating microbial growth. Some of the existing method may be inefficient to accurately count the overlapped microorganisms. Therefore, in this paper we proposed an efficient method for automatic segmentation and counting of microorganisms in microscopic images. This method uses a hybrid approach based on morphological operation, active contour model and counting by region labelling process. The colony count value obtained by this proposed method is compared with the manual count and the count value obtained from the existing method.
