“Blood Analysis Using Image Processing”

Abstract

Abstract: The human blood is a health indicator; it delivers necessary substances such as oxygen and substance that provides nourishment is necessary. Hence, segmentation of blood cells and identification of blood type is very important. The human blood consists of the RBCs, WBCs, Platelets and Plasma. Presently, lab technician tests blood groups manually and they use a device called Hemacytometer and microscope to count blood cells. But this method is extremely time consuming, monotonous and leads to the inaccurate results due to human errors. To overcome the problems regarding time, accuracy and cost, a method is proposed based on processing of images acquired from laboratory. The image processing techniques such as Segmentation, Morphological operations and Circular Hough Transform will test with some samples. In healthcare, blood testing is observed to be as one of the most significant medical examination tests. In pathology labs, different types of blood cells are counted to diagnose the diseases patient.
