Abstract:
A computer-aided colposcope has been developed for enhancement and analysis of colposcopic images. There are numerous possible applications of this system, including image archiving, image enhancement and processing, and quantitative measurements of various features in the images. In addition, a wide range of digital filters can be applied to the system that may be used to detail different aspects of the image. The method for a new mode of applying digital and optical filters to the colposcope is discussed and future directions for the system are suggested.
