Image processing steps. (a) A frame of oocyte on the verge of entering the trap channel. (b) Local thresholding stage in image processing. (c) Hole filling stage. The salt noise filter is applied at this stage. (d) Background image when no oocyte has entered the channel. (e) Stage of removing intersecting lines and background removal. In this image, the lines related to the channel have been removed. (f) Binary image of the detected oocyte after smoothing.
