Abstract
Semen analysis is important in evaluating human male fertility, but the subjectivity of the evaluation of sperm characteristics, especially motility, has troubled investigators for many years. Therefore, we have developed a bi- level picture processing system (called the BPP system), using a microcomputer for automatic, objective and quantitative evaluation of sperm characteristics.
