Praburam K. Varadharajan, K. Harini . Machine Learning Approach for Classification and Identification of Blood Cells. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 13 ( May 2022), 34-37. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922117
In the medical field, blood testing is considered one of the most important clinical examinations. A complete blood cell count is important for any medical diagnosis. Traditionally manual equipment is used to do this task which is time-consuming. Therefore, there is a need to research for an automated blood cell detection system that will help physicians to solve the problem efficiently. This paper presents a machine learning approach for the automatic identification and classification of three types of blood cells using a Single-shot Multi-Box detector (SSD) network. This framework has been trained on the BCCD Dataset of blood smear images to automatically identify red blood cells, White blood cells, and platelets.
