A Novel Approach for Objective Assessment of White Blood Cells Using Computational Vision Algorithms by Cesar Mauricio Rodríguez Barrero, Lyle Alberto Romero Gabalan, Edgar Eduardo Roa Guerrero

“…In the field of medicine, the analysis of blood is one of the most important exams to determine the physiological state of a patient. In the analysis of the blood sample, an important process is the counting and classification of white blood cells, which is done manually, being an exhaustive, subjective, and error-prone activity due to the physical fatigue that generates the professional because it is a method that consumes long laxes of time. …”
