An Improved Computer Vision Method for White Blood Cells Detection

Algorithm 2

Step 1: Segment the WBC’s using the DEM algorithm (described in Section 4.1)

Step 2: Get the edge map from the segmented image.

Step 3: Start the ellipse detector based in DE over the edge map while saving best ellipses (Section 3).

Step 4: Define parameter values for each ellipse that identify the WBC’s.
