Image segmentation techniques for red blood cell: on overview

Image processing technique applies in different domains,such as medical,remote sensing and security. this techniques aims to get a simple image called -image processed- should retain maximum useful information. the sensitive step in image processing is segmentation of image. segmentation is first stage in medical image analysis seeded to two categories supervised and unsupervised technique. accuracy of this stage affects the whole system performance. this paper present some methods applied for blood cell image segmentation and compares previous studies of overlapping cell division method. the common goal about this area is accuracy of counting the number of red blood cells (rbc) or white blood cells (wbc),which decrease with effect of some diseases such as anemia and leukemia. and makes it a critical factor in patient treatments. © 2015 penerbit utm press. all rights reserved.
