Abstract

White blood cell (WBC) image detection plays an important role in automatic morphological systems since it can simplify and facilitate WBC segmentation and classification procedures. However, existing WBC detection methods mainly rely on the location of the nucleus, which is found difficult to achieve accurate detection results. This paper proposes a novel WBC detection algorithm through sliding windows with varying sizes to traverse the image for candidates. Three cues are explored to measure the candidates, and a combined cue is used as a single output to distinguish positives from negatives. The \(\epsilon \)-support vector regression is employed to determine the detection window from the candidates. In this paper, two applications of the proposed WBC detection approach are carried out, including an adaptive thresholding algorithm based on WBC detection for nucleus segmentation from images and target detection to lessen the users’ interaction for automatic cytoplasm segmentation.
