White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are one of the valuable parts of the blood and immune system. Typically, pathologists use microscope for the manual inspection of blood smears which is a time-consuming, error-prone, and labor-inten...
BACKGROUND: Via counting the different kinds of white blood cells (WBCs), a good quantitative description of a person's health status is obtained, thus forming the critical aspects for the early treatment of several diseases. Thereby, correct classif...
A blood count is one of the most important diagnostic tools in medicine and one of the most common procedures. It can reveal important changes in the body and is commonly used as the first stage in the process of evaluating patients' health. Even tho...

To address the issues of uneven illumination and inconspicuous leukocyte properties in the gathered cell pictures, a leukocyte segmentation method based on adaptive retinex correction and U-net was proposed. The procedure begins by processing a perip...
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided methods for analyzing white blood cells (WBC) are popular due to the complexity of the manual alternatives. Recent works have shown highly accurate segmentation and detection of white blood cells from microscopic blood imag...
The lens-free shadow imaging technique (LSIT) is a well-established technique for the characterization of microparticles and biological cells. Due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, various low-cost solutions have been developed, such as autom...
The recognition and classification of White Blood Cell (WBC) play a remarkable role in blood-related diseases (i.e., leukemia, infections) diagnosis. For the highly similar morphology of different WBC subtypes, it is too confused to classify the WBC ...
Accurate and early detection of anomalies in peripheral white blood cells plays a crucial role in the evaluation of well-being in individuals and the diagnosis and prognosis of hematologic diseases. For example, some blood disorders and immune system...
The abnormal growth of leukocytes causes hematologic malignancies such as leukemia. The clinical assessment methods for the diagnosis of the disease are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Image-based automated diagnostic systems can be of great help...
