Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for detecting whether cells are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), and the method includes: (a) capturing a contour of a cell of a cell image, wherein the contour has a contour pixel thereon; (b) identifying a tangent of the contour pixel on the contour to define in relation to the tangent a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, wherein the first side indicates the intracellular region of the cell and the second side indicates the extracellular region of the cell; (c) calculating an optical parameter average of the plurality of pixels on both of the first side and the second side; and (d) determining whether the cell is infected with HPV based on whether the optical parameter average on the first side is smaller than that on the second side.
