Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic and acute infectious disease which damages more people than any other infectious diseases according to WHO estimates. In this paper, a new automatic diagnosis system of tuberculosis bacilli by using their color information is proposed. Through the deep investigation of color composition of tuberculosis images, a new pre-processing and segmentation algorithms are suggested. Specific features are extracted from the processed images and its counting is done by using the knowledge rules.
