Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) is a term for different automatic or semi-automatic semen analysis techniques. Most CASA systems are based on image analysis[1], but alternative methods such as tracking of the cell movement on a digitizing tablet have been described[2].

CASA techniques are mainly used for the assessment of sperm concentration and motility characteristics such as velocity and linear velocity.
