The worked out algorithm determines the density of the semen in the specific volume of ejaculate. The algorithm constitutes the first stage in the computer analysis of the picture. The system will allow for the automatic and objective measurement of the chosen parameters of a sample of semen. On the received results a doctor will be able to estimate the quality of the examined ejaculate. Presently, the basic type of examination is the visual analysis. It requires from a doctor a big experience and there is a risk of serious mistakes: • big subjectivism of the received results (doctor estimates visually the number of sperm cells in the sample) • lack of possibility of repetition of the examination on the same sample by more persons because of lack of possibility of any recording of the picture • lack of standardization of examination – in the cause the patient changes hospital it is necessary to conduct again the investigation. The application of the computer technique will increase the precision of the examination. The advantage of the system will be the possibility of reaching accurate results instead of result based only on the visual method. It will be also possible to record the chosen sequences of pictures what will allow for farther analysis and investigations. Moreover, the computer examination will be performed in shorter time. In the first stage of work on the system we elaborated an application evaluating the density of semen in the given picture.
