Abstract
A cell image analyzing system is described and recent advances in color processing algorithms are reported. Images of human bone marrow cells are acquired using red, green and blue broad band filters and processed according to a model based on the perceptual vision of color. The discriminatory power of hue, luminance and saturation computed on cells is discussed.
