The task of diagnosing Leukemia is time consum- ing and tedious for doctors; it is also challenging to determine the level and type of Leukemia. The diagnoses of Leukemia are achieved through identifying the changes on the White blood Cells (WBC). WBCs are divided into five types: Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes. In this pa- per, the authors propose a Convolutional Neural Network to detect and classify normal white blood cells. The program will learn about the shape and type of normal WBC by performing the following two tasks. The first task is identifying high level features of a normal white blood cell. The second task is classifying the normal white blood cell according to its type. Using a Convolutional Neural Network CNN, the system will be able to detect normal WBCs by comparing them with the TI - Detection and Classification of White Blood Cells through Deep Learning Techniques JF - International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE) DO - 10.3991/ijoe.v16i15.15481 DA - 2020-12-15 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/detection-and-classification-of-white-blood-cells-through-deep-BnyCXexJ0v DP - DeepDyve ER -
