Hence, detection and treatment of infertility is gaining impetus. Quality of the sperm plays a crucial role in male infertility. Manual detection of sperm quality is prone to pitfalls. Computer aided sperm analysis is economically distant in developing and under developed countries. Hence, this research is an effort towards developing simple image processing techniques to detect the integrity of sperm DNA. Microscopic images of semen samples from subjects with and without fertility issues were considered. Two image processing techniques, namely, threshold and extended maximum transform and K-means clustering were employed to detect the core and halo parts of the sperm DNA. Based on the difference in the diameters of these parts, the sperm halos were categorized and degraded cells were identified. The sperm cell categorization with K means algorithm provides 96.6% accuracy with the limited number of samples. The results of the study suggest that the proposed method would help in developing simple and economical means of sperm integrity testing. 2019-01-15T02:38:56Z 2019-01-15T02:38:56Z 2018 Article Journal of Engineering Research and Education, vol.10, 2018, pages 29-38 2232-1098 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/57953 en Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
