The Use of the Wavelet Transform for the Formation of the Quantitative Characteristics of the Blood Cells Images for the Automation of Hematological Diagnostics
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: The light microscopy method is widely used in the diagnosis of the neoplastic diseases of the blood system. The experience and qualifications of the physician have a significant role in the outcome of microscopy studies of blood cells. But sometimes there is a dispute among experts on the identification of cell types. For this reason, the objectification of the blood cells description is an actual problem. One of the essential features in the classification of immature blood cells (e.g. blast cells) is a type of chromatin structure in the nucleus of these cells. The quantitative description of the blood cells images with using the wavelet analysis is discussed in the article. The description models on the basis of wavelet functions Haar, Daubechies, Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau were studied. The selection of blood cells with different chromatin structure was formed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed models. The quantitative features were identified for the greatest discernment of the chromatin structure according to the results of the experiments. The proposed approach can be used to automate the diagnosis of hematologic diseases.
