Algorithms for examination of the density and selected parameters of movement of sperm cells have been elaborated and implemented. The conducted research is a part of work on a computer system for semen analysis. The system will allow for an increase in the precision of examination thanks to an exact specification of numerical values of the chosen parameters. An additional advantage of the system is an increased time efficiency of examination. Nowadays, the basic type of examination is an estimated analysis of semen parameters by visual observation of a sample, based on a physician's subjective assessment of an image. Registration of images is impossible in visual analysis.
