Quick Leukocyte Nucleus Segmentation in Leukocyte Counting [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2019 The leukocyte nucleus quick segmentation is one of the key techniques in leukocyte real-time online scanning of human blood smear. We propose a quick leukocyte nucleus segmentation method based on the component difference in RGB color space. By analyzing the captured microscopic images of the peripheral blood smears from the autoscanning microscope, it
