Abstract

Medical diagnosis is expanding every day. Engineering and Medical Science are utilizing their power in a symbiotic manner, to make human life better. This paper explains and analyzes the identification of a specific microscopic cellular body using various algorithms based on Image Processing. Today, there are various instruments to identify and count microscopic cellular bodies. They make use of very thin capillaries and impedance calculation to identify and count cells. It is called Flow Cytometry. This makes them very expensive, delicate and complicated instruments. This identification can be done in another way using Blob detection, considering each cell a collection of points in same state. This state can be either color, shape, perimeter, area etc. The microscopic bodies may be Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), Platelets, Tumor Cells etc. The Blob detection works exactly like human eye, which differentiates on the basis of various parameters like color, shape, size, distance etc.
