Abstract

Image processing comes with various techniques. It uses a series of framework to transform an input image into an output image. In recent times, image processing technique has been extensively used in medical area. In order to overcome the problems of manual diagnosis in identifying the morphology of blood cells, the automated diagnosis is often used. Manual diagnosis required the observation of blood sample by expert hematologist and pathologist. This method may suffer from the presence of non-standard precision of human visual inspection. Due to this problem, this paper focused on semi-automated diagnosis that used image processing technique to perform the segmentation of the nucleus in white blood cell (WBC). Several image processing techniques are used including the active contour method. The results obtained are based on the parameter values obtained from segmentation process. The parameter value is calculated from the roundness equation. The value of 0.80 can be used to describe as a single leukocyte.
