Abstract

Scanning screen morphometry has proved to be a technically simple and reliable way of image analysis. In order to avoid laborious and often incorrect counting, a new system has been developed using statistical methods. This system works with every IBM compatible personal computer and a slightly modified RS232 mouse. For counting and evaluation a computer program written in SAA standard was developed. Except for the scanning screen no further instrumentation is needed. It was the aim to create a system which is economical in every respect and easy to use for diagnostic purposes.

Keywords : image analysis, modified RS232-mouse, personal computer, scanning screen morphometry
