Manual examination of faecal smear samples to identify the existence of parasitic eggs is very time-consuming and can only be done by specialists. Therefore, an automated system is required to tackle this problem since it can relate to serious intestinal parasitic infections. This paper reviews the ICIP 2022 Challenge on parasitic egg detection and classification in microscopic images. We describe a new dataset for this application, which is the largest dataset of its kind. The methods used by participants in the challenge are summarised and discussed along with their results.
