Microscopy Image Processing Analaysis for Automatic Detection of Human Intestinal Parasites ALO and TTO

Parasite is an organism that lives on or in other organisms from which it obtains its' nutrients but causes harm in the process. Infection of human intestine by parasites can be due the food that we eat or the water that we drink. The most common symptoms of worm infestation include diarrhoea,...
