Abstract

In this paper, we are developing an automated method for the detection of tubercle bacilli in clinical specimens, principally the sputum. This investigation is the first attempt to automatically identify TB bacilli in sputum using image processing and learning vector quantization (LVQ) techniques. The evaluation of the learning vector quantization (LVQ) was carried out on Tuberculosis dataset show that average of accuracy is 91,33%.
