The invention provides a uterine neck
cell image characteristic identification method and a uterine neck
cell characteristic identification apparatus. The uterine neck
cell image characteristic identification method comprises the following steps: S100, converting a uterine neck cell color picture into a gray-scale image; S200, segmenting the uterine neck cell grey-scale image by use of a mean value segmentation method to extract nuclei of uterine neck cells; S300, accurately positioning the centers of the nuclei by use of a gray
scale weight center positioning method; S400, converting a uterine neck cell image in a cartesian coordinate
system into a uterine neck cell image in a polar coordinate
system; S500, taking a vector composed of a gray-scale median value of the uterine neck cell image on each polar
radius in the polar coordinate
system as a characteristic vector of the uterine neck cell image; and S600, training a
support vector machine vector
machine classifier by use of a uterine neck cell training sample and performing class determination on the image of the uterine neck cell training sample by use of the classifier. Compared to geometrical characteristics extracted by use of a conventional method, the uterine neck cell image characteristic identification method has the advantages of dimension invariability, rotation invariability, high
identification rate and fast identification speed.
