Abstract

It is an effective means for the early diagnosis of leukemia to study immature precursor cells in marrow pathological images by computer image processing technology. This paper proposed a new method about localization of immature precursor cells in Pathological images of bone marrow. Firstly, we use modified OSTU method to binarize the image; then we process the image with morphological operations, combined with their own characteristics and the sizes of cells; finally we obtain the right results of cellular localization. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has a better performance on immature precursor cells identification, which addresses the problem unsolved in specific situation with general image segmentation methods. This lays a foundation for the future study in the area of distribution of cells.
