Abstract
This paper proposes an automated microscopic
imaging system (MIS) for TB screening. Mainly, the system
consists of integrated hardware and software components
for sputum smear slides feeding, controlling and carrying
out microscopic and image processing functions of the
system. The MIS is used to distinguish TB positive and
negative cases. The hardware system and controlling
mechanism of MIS are discussed. Algorithms for focusing
of the microscope and image processing are presented.
Experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed
automated microscopic imaging system
