Medical imaging is the technique and process used to create images of the human body or medical science.Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images.Microscope image processing dates back a half century when it was realized that some of the techniques of image capture and manipulation, first developed for television, could also be applied to images captured through the microscope.This paper presents semi-automated segmentation and identification of adenovirus particles using active contour with multi grid segmentation model.The geometric features are employed to identify the adenovirus particles in digital microscopic image.The min-max, 3 σ rules are used for recognition of adenovirus particles.The results are compared with manual method obtained by microbiologist.
