Abstract

Medical image processing has developed rapidly in the last decade. The autodetection and classification of white blood cells (WBC) is one of the medical image processing applications. The analysis of WBC images has engaged researchers from medical also technology fields. Since WBC detection plays an essential role in the medical field, this paper presents a system for distinguishing and classifying WBC types: eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes, using K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) and Logistic Regression (LR). This study aims to find the best accuracy of pre-processing images using original grayscale, shock filtering, and thresholding grayscale. The highest average accuracy in classifying WBC images in the conducting research is 43.54% using the LR algorithm from 2103 images. It is obtained from the combination of thresholding grayscale image and shock filtering equation to enhance the quality of an image. Overall, using two algorithms, KNN and LR, the classification accuracy can increase up to 12%.
