title = "Polar body detection for ICSI cell manipulation",
abstract = "Polar body detection is an essential activity in the automation of micromanipulation systems in Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) application. Orienting the intracellular structure to the desire location is main challenge in the 3D cell manipulation. Polar body is classified as one of these intracellular structures. This paper presents the development and testing of a new oocytes and polar body detection method. The detection and location of oocyte and its polar body were completed using the gradient weighted Hough transform, which was the first documented implementation in this application. A new method for elliptical fitting within images based on image gradients was developed for the sizing of oocytes and polar bodies. The test results showed the robustness of the proposed methodology compared with the established methods to detect oocytes and polar bodies from different sources.",
