abstract = {A new textural descriptor called Longitudinal and Transversal Profiles (LTP) has been proposed to classify images of dead and alive spermatozoa heads. The dataset consists of 376 dead spermatozoa head images and 472 alive ones. The performance of LTP was compared to other descriptors like Pattern Spectrum, Flusser, Hu, and a histogram-based statistical descriptor. The feature vectors were classified using both a back-propagation Neural Network and the kNN algorithm. The LTP descriptor achieved a classification error of 30.58%, outperforming the other descriptors. Additionally, the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) confirmed that LTP provided better performance than the other texture descriptors.},
