Abstract
We applied traditional fuzzy mathematical approach with enhanced initialization procedure to segment Pap smear images of cervical cells. The segmented images of the cervical cells were analyzed with the help of shape theory to classify them accordingly to the presence of abnormality in the morphological behavior of the cells.
