Abstract

During hematopoiesis, the red and white blood cells are produced which are mainly stored in the human body.
About 45% of the blood content constitutes the blood cells whit the remaining forming the liquid portion of the
blood. This paper aimed at determining the red and white blood cells count in the smear image of the blood captured
using compound microscope. The image of the blood cells is analyzed digitally to predict the type of Leukemia
cancer present in the blood cells. The method combines Plane extraction and counting techniques to determine the
count of White and Red blood cells and also detect the presence of Leukemia Cancer. An experiment was conducted
and the result obtained from our proposed method shows 91% accuracy for red blood cell count, 86% accuracy for
white blood cell and 96% accuracy on Leukemia Cancers.
