Apparatus, Method, and System for Image-Based Human Embryo Cell Classification

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for automated cell classification, embryo ranking, and/or embryo categorization are provided. An apparatus includes a classification module configured to apply classifiers to images of one or more cells to determine, for each image, a classification probability associated with each classifier. Each classifier is associated with a distinct first number of cells, and is configured to determine the classification probability for each image based on cell features including one or more machine learned cell features. The classification probability indicates an estimated likelihood that the distinct first number of cells is shown in each image. The classification module is further configured to classify each image as showing a second number of cells based on the distinct first number of cells and the classification probabilities associated therewith. The classification module is implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device.
