Abstract
An optoelectronic morphological processor for detecting regions of int erest (abnormal cells) on a cervical smear slide using the hit/miss tr ansform is presented. Computer simulation of the algorithm tested on 1 84 Pap-smear images provided 95% detection and 5% false alarm. An opto electronic implementation of the hit/miss transform is presented, alon g with preliminary experimental results.
