Automatic Retrieval of Microscopic Blood Cells Images

The research explores various methods to retrieve microscopic blood cell image on the basis of features automatically extracted from the image. The query image is selected from a large collection of blood cell image. After the region of interest is selected from the image, Query by Image Content (QBIC) catalog is used to measure the low level attributed of the query image such as average color, histogram color, positional color and texture. The low level attributes are used to find matching image in the DB2 (DataBase 2 by IBM) database. The most accurate and relevant blood cell images are retrieved along with the description of the blood disorder.
