White blood cell segmentation by distance mapping active contour
White blood cell segmentations are an important research issue in Hematology and related study field. Our research proposes a segmentation of nucleus and cytoplasm of peripheral white blood cell from color image slides. The segmentation is started by using a dilated perimeter of nucleus convex hull...
