Abstract

Urine analysis reveals the presence of many problems and diseases in the human body. Manual microscopic urine analysis is time-consuming, subjective to human observation and causes mistakes. Computer aided automatic microscopic analysis can help to overcome these problems. This paper introduces a comprehensive approach for automating procedures for detecting and recognition of microscopic urine particles. Samples of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), calcium oxalate, triple phosphate and other undefined images were used in experiments. Image processing functions and segmentation were applied, shape and textural features were extracted and five classifiers were tested to get the best results. Repeated experiments were done for adjusting factors to produce the best evaluation results. A good performance was achieved compared with many related works.
