| Abstract: | Image Enhancement is a very useful pre-processing
method that is implemented on biomedical images to
eliminate poor contrast, thus improve interpretability
for human’s vision. In Leukemia, the Bone Marrow
generally makes a lot of abnormal White Blood Cells
(WBCs) which do not function normally and do not die
as they normally should. Leukemia can affects any five
types of the WBCs; Neutrophils, Basophils,
Eosinophils, Monocytes and Lymphocytes. In order to
screen for Leukemia, the experts currently used a
microscope to select the region of interest on bone
marrow slide, detect the WBC, determined which class
cell does the WBC belongs to based on his experience
and knowledge and repeat the whole process until all
cells in the region of interest are counted. This is a
very tedious process even for an expert. Hence, a clear
and clean image of Bone Marrow slide is firstly needed
and preferred before the whole tiresome process takes
place consecutively to avoid misinterpretation that
might leads to misdiagnosis. In this paper, Partial
Contrast Stretching has been implemented on images
of Bone Marrow slides. The resulting images are
enhanced to a better contrast compared to the original
ones. |
