AbstractSperm analysis and manipulation play a significant role in biology research and reproductive medicine (assisted reproductive technologies). This chapter reviews computer vision-based sperm tracking methods, sperm analysis techniques, and automated sperm manipulation. Based on computer vision tracking of sperm head and sperm tail, sperm motility can be quantified by calculating the sperm's straight line velocity, curvilinear velocity, moving path linearity, and the sperm tail beating amplitude. Conventional computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) systems are capable of performing some of these tasks. Recent progress in this field provides additional, enhanced capabilities to biologists and clinical embryologists. This chapter also introduces recent progress in automating sperm manipulation procedures, including sperm immobilization, aspiration, and positioning inside a micropipette.
