The Papanicolaou test is used for early prediction of cervical cancer. Computer vision techniques for automating the microscopy analysis of cervical cells in this test have received great attention. Cell segmentation is needed here in order to obtain appropriate features for classification of abnormal cells. However, accurate segmentation of the cell cytoplasm is difficult, due to cell overlapping and variability of color and intensity. This has determined a growing interest in classifying cells using only features from the nuclei, which are easier to segment. In this work, we classified cells in the pap-smear test using a combination of morphometric and Haralick texture features, obtained from the nucleus gray-level co-occurrence matrix. A comparison was made among various classifiers using these features and data dimensionality reduction through PCA. The results obtained showed that this combination can be a promising alternative in order to automate the analysis of cervical cells.
