ABSTRACT:
A biological specimen classification strategy employs identification and integration of multiple cell patterns. An automated microscope acquires an image of a biological specimen such as a Pap smear and provides an image output to biological classifiers. The classifiers independently detect and classify a number of specimen types and provide classifications to an output field of view integrator. The integrator integrates the classifications. The integrated output then determines whether the classifiers should be reapplied to the image.
