Claim One:
1. An apparatus for detecting cervical cancer comprising: a mechanical structure configured to expose cervical region comprising a supporting rod; an image capturing unit mounted on the supporting rod to capture cervix image; a first block removing specular reflection (SR) in the cervix image; a second block generating a hybrid image by determining dominant red color (R) intensity and distance of a pixel from the center of the image; a third block converting the hybrid image to a grayscale image and thresholding the gray scale image to generate a first sample image; a fourth block to determine acetowhite region in the first sample image; and a processor to indicate normal condition when the acetowhite region substantially compares with a reference image and indicate abnormal condition otherwise, wherein the image capturing unit is coupled to the mechanical structure on the supporting rod.
