title: Computer recognition of ectocervical cells: image features.
abstract: Machine recognition of ectocervical cells has been achieved with good classification success by a number of research groups. Even though a substantial number of cell image features have been introduced, only a moderate number are required for classification. For them, definitions and measures of their discriminatory potential are presented.
