Traditionally blood cells are counted manually using haemocytometer along with other laboratory equipment’s and chemical compounds, which is a time-consuming and tedious task. In this work, the authors present a machine learning approach for automatic identification and counting of three types of blood cells using ‘you only look once’ (YOLO) object detection and classification algorithm. YOLO framework has been trained with a modified configuration BCCD Dataset of blood smear images to automatically identify and count red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Moreover, this study with other convolutional neural network architectures considering architecture complexity, reported accuracy, and running time with this framework and compare the accuracy of the models for blood cells detection. They also tested the trained model on smear images from a different dataset and found that the learned models are generalized. Overall the computer-aided system of detection and counting enables us to count blood cells from smear images in less than a second, which is useful for practical applications.","url_abs":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8822896","url_pdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8822896","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"machine-learning-approach-of-automatic","repo_url":"https://github.com/MahmudulAlam/Automatic-Identification-and-Counting-of-Blood-Cells","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"machine-learning","task_name":"BIG-bench Machine Learning"},{"task_slug":"blood-cell-count","task_name":"Blood Cell Count"},{"task_slug":"blood-cell-detection","task_name":"Blood Cell Detection"},{"task_slug":"cbc-test","task_name":"CBC TEST"},{"task_slug":"medical-diagnosis","task_name":"Medical Diagnosis"},{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"1x1-convolution","method_name":"1x1 Convolution"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"dropout","method_name":"Dropout"},{"method_slug":"knn-and-iou-based-verification","method_name":"KNN and IOU based verification"},{"method_slug":"max-pooling","method_name":"Max Pooling"},{"method_slug":"non-maximum-suppression","method_name":"Non Maximum Suppression"},{"method_slug":"yolov1","method_name":"YOLOv1"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[{"slug":"knn-and-iou-based-verification","name":"KNN and IOU based verification","full_name":"KNN and IOU based verification"}],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
