BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: White blood cells (WBCs) differential counting yields valued information about human health and disease. The current developed automated cell morphology equipments perform differential count which is based on blood smear im...
The present paper introduces a focus stacking-based approach for automated quantitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum malaria from blood smear. For the detection, a custom designed convolutional neural network (CNN) operating on focus stack of i...
PURPOSE: Detection of leukocytes is critical for the routine leukorrhea exam, which is widely used in gynecological examinations. An elevated vaginal leukocyte count in women with bacterial vaginosis is a strong predictor of vaginal or cervical infec...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this paper is to segment leukocytes in blood smear images using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). Generally, uncertainties occur in terms of vagueness through brightness levels of image. Pr...
This research proposes an intelligent decision support system for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia diagnosis from microscopic blood images. A novel clustering algorithm with stimulating discriminant measures (SDM) of both within- and between-cluster sca...
