An Automated Solution for Extracting and Counting of White Blood Cells in a Blood Smear Images

There are various tools present commercially for automatic counting of Blood Cells. These tools are used for counting and finding the different types of Blood Cells present in the Blood Smear. The count of White Blood Cells is important for detecting various diseases as well as to follow the accurate treatment for the diseases like Anemia, Leukemia, Inflammation, Systemic illness, Allergy and Burn Induced etc. The White Blood Cell count gives the vital information about the disease's which is used for diagnosing the patients. The old conventional method of counting White Blood Cells under microscope gives an inaccurate and unreliable results depending upon how the laboratory technician works on it. Another method for White Blood Cell counting is done through cell counter machine, which is very expensive and cannot be afforded to remote rural areas, hence to overcome such problems this paper proposes a cost effective approach, i.e, automated solution using smart phone based solution for extracting and counting of White Blood Cells.
