discrimination between iron deficiency (ida) anemia and β-thalassemia trait (β-tt) is a time consuming and costly problem. because, they have approximate similar effects on routine blood test indices, in some cases, the complementary tests, which are expensive and time consuming, would be needed for differentiate the anemia. complete blood count (cbc) is a fast, inexpensive, and accessible medi...

Abslracf-A technique for automating the differential count of blood is presented. The proposed system takes as input, color images of stained peripheral blood smears and identifies the class of each of the White Blood Cells (WBC), in order to determine the count of cells in each class. The process involves segmentation, feature extraction and classification. WBC segmentation is a two-step proce...
