BLOOD CELL COUNTING USING IMAGE PROCESSING
B. HEMAKUMAR Dept. of Electronics and Instrumentation SHANMUGA ARTS SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH ACADEMY (SASTRA) Deemed University TANJORE, SOUTH INDIA
INTRODUCTION • NEED FOR BLOOD CELL COUNTING • CONVENTIONAL METHODS AND THEIR DEMERITS • METHOD PROPOSED • MERITS OF USING IMAGE PROCESSING
SAMPLE STEP 1 BLOOD STEP 2 VIDEO M + COMP. INT STEP 3 RGB TO GRAY SCALE STEP 4 EDGE DETECTION STEP 5 CELL COUNT
STEP • BLOOD SAMPLE COLLECTION • CHEMICAL MIXING • GIVEN TO MICROSCOPE
STEP • CAPTURING THE IMAGE • CAMERA CONTROL UNIT • CCD TYPE VIDEO CAMERA COMPACT, LIGHT WEIGHT, BETTER SENSITIVITY, HIGHER RESOLUTION
CCD TYPE – HEAT NOISE SUPPRESSED BY INTEGRATED COOLING SYSTEMS • SCSI INTERFACE – A/D PARALLEL INTERFACE STANDARD (PC/MAC/UNIX) • IMAGE GRIPPER CARD PC - MATLAB V6.5
STEP RGB TO GRAY Y’ gives the grayscale image Y’ = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B
STEP EDGE DETECTION EDGE – ABRUPT GRAY LEVEL CHANGE METHODS 1. GRADIENT OPERATOR PAIR OF MASKS MEASURES GRADIENT ALONG TWO ORTHOGONAL DIRECTIONS. MAGNITUDE & PHASE OF GRADIENTS
MAGNITUDE > THRESHOLD = EDGE PHASE = EDGE DIRECTION TWO THRESHOLDS - STRONG AND WEAK EDGES SOBEL, PREWITT, ROBERT & CANNY
2. LAPLACIAN WIDE GRAY LEVEL CHANGE MORE SENSITIVE TO NOISE ZERO CROSSING PROPERTY POPULAR LAPLACIAN GUASSIAN OPERATOR h(m,n)=c[1-(m2+m2)/σ2] exp (-((m2+n2)/2σ2))) OUTPUT OF EDGE DETECTION BINARY IMAGE
STEP CELL COUNT • Linear flow of reading from starting of ROW/COLUMN and increment • If p(x-1, y-1), p(x-1, y), p(x, y-1) and p(x+1, y- 1) are ZERO, then increment COUNT
Edge Detection Method No. of Cells Counted Sobel 288 Prewitt 286 Canny 689 Roberts 229 Laplacian 471 300 MANUAL COUNT :
CONCLUSION Sobel and Prewitt matches with min. error with manual counting
