Claim One:
1. A method for region segmentation of urine particle images, characterized by comprising the steps of: extracting a first object region by using one or more of an image with red components (an R image), an image with green components (a G image), and an image of blue components (a B image) of a urine particle image taken by an image input optical system configured to input particle images; calculating a density distribution of one or more of the R image, the G image, and the B image in the first object region, and a size of the first object region, and classifying the first object region into a predetermined number of groups based on the density distribution and the size; and extracting a second object region from a local region including the first object region in the image, by using one or more of the R image, the G image, and the B image, depending on each of the groups.
