Automated analysis of microscopy images using deep convolutional neural networks

The general cell quantification and identification have technical limitations concerning the fast and accurate detection of complex morphological cells, especially for overlapping cells, irregular cell shapes, bad focal planes, among other factors. We use the deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) to classify the annotated images of five types of white blood cells. The accuracy and performance of the proposed framework are evaluated for the blood cell classifications. The results demonstrate that the DCNN model performs close to the accuracy of 80% and provides an accurate and fast method for hematological laboratories.
