A Survey on Detection of Leukemia Using White Blood Cell Segmentation

White blood cells analysis is generally done for diagnosis of various diseases. One of those diseases is Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ALL is detected by observing morphological changes in white blood cells. Morphological analysis along with classification and segmentation techniques helps to detect leukemia at early stage and accurate detection. There are number of classification techniques which can be used to classify WBC’s into different classes as per their respective features. Segmentation techniques segments nucleus and cytoplasm from each WBC and feature extraction process extract features from nucleus and cytoplasm for accurate result.
