Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for analyzing a bodily sample. A microscope system acquires one or more microscope images of the bodily sample. A computer processor identifies elements as being candidates of a given entity, in the one or more images. The computer processor extracts, from the one or more images, at least one candidate-informative feature associated with the candidate, and at least one sample-informative feature that is indicative of contextual information related to the bodily sample. The computer processor processes the candidate-informative feature in combination with the sample-informative feature, and performs an action in response thereto. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for analyzing a bodily sample. A microscope system acquires one or more microscope images of the bodily sample. A computer processor identifies elements as being candidates of a given entity, in the one or more images. At least one sample-informative feature, relating to a characteristic of the candidates of the given entity in the sample as a whole, is extracted from the one or more images. A characteristic of the sample is determined at least partially based upon the sample-informative feature, and an output is generated in response thereto. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: A method for accurate and remote user measurement includes receiving (step 102), by a server having a processor and addressable memory, a first image and a first image data from a smartphone, wherein the first image contains a system-predetermined reference object and at least a portion of a user, identifying (step 108), by the server, the system-predetermined reference object in the first image, determining (step 112), by the server, a first reference dimension of the identified system-predetermined reference object in the first image, and determining (step 114), by the server, at least one measurement of the user based on the determined first reference dimension.
