Abstract
This paper presents counting number of the sweat glands using image processing. This method uses a process of image processing as follows. The cropped image of the sweat glands is resized for an extensive size and it is converted to gray image. Then, unsharp filter is used for this image to adjust clearly the sweat glands. Quality of the image will be improved for image enhancement using adaptive histogram equalization. Finally, extended minima transform, i.e. the regional minima of the H-minima transform, is used for counting number of the sweat glands. The experimental results show that the accuracy, sensitivity and precision are approximately at 70.31%, 77.38% and 88.89%, respectively. It saves time to analysis of the sweat glands. © 2011 IEEE.
