abstract = "Human intestinal parasites constitute a problem in
most tropical countries, causing death or physical and
mental disorders. Their diagnosis usually relies on the
visual analysis of microscopy images, with error rates
that may range from moderate to high. The problem has
been addressed via computational image analysis, but
only for a few species and images free of fecal
impurities. In routine, fecal impurities are a real
challenge for automatic image analysis. We have
circumvented this problem by a method that can segment
and classify, from bright field microscopy images with
fecal impurities, the 15 most common species of
protozoan cysts, helminth eggs, and larvae in Brazil.
Our approach exploits ellipse matching and image
foresting transform for image segmentation, multiple
object descriptors and their optimum combination by
genetic programming for object representation, and the
optimum-path forest classifier for object recognition.
The results indicate that our method is a promising
approach toward the fully automation of the
enteroparasitosis diagnosis.",
