Abstract

The classification of white blood cells from blood cell smear images was presented. The features of the cells were extracted to achieve high classification performance. The active contour models, known as snakes and baloons, were used in detecting contours of deformable shapes. Automated contour extraction engine based on the method for initial positioning and modified snake positioning was used for experiments.
