Abstract

The proposed system aims to automatically detect 
and recognize the leukocyte types from microscopic images. 
Thedeveloped system detects the leukocyte area within an input 
image and classifies the leukocyte type in one of the five 
categories (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, 
and monocytes). The focused color intersection method is 
performed based on the color information of the blood cell 
images. Three main processes in the proposed system are: 1) the 
color histogram construction, 2) the focus region determination, 
and 3) the active search process. The system starts with 
constructing the Red Green Blue (RGB) color histogram and 
finding the histogram intersection. Next, the system selects the 
focus regions and does active searching of the focus regions 
which contain parts of the image which have the highest 
probability of the histogram intersection. The focused color 
intersection method enables the system to automatically detect 
leukocyte areas and determine the leukocyte types from 
microscopic images.
