Computer aided screening of subjects at risk for cervical neoplasia

An automatic approach to mass screening for early detection of subjects at risk for cervical neoplasia has been described. The approach is based on image processing and pattern recognition techniques applied to images of the cervix taken by a colposcope and digitized in the RGB components.
