This paper presents a hierarchical K-means clustering scheme for white blood cell (WBC) segmentation in blood cell images. The proposed scheme solves the problem of WBC segmentation by manual manner traditionally. In the proposed hierarchical K-means clustering, there are three levels. The first level removes the background of the blood cell image, then large amount of red blood cells and a little of cytoplasm are discriminated in the second level. The last level obtains the nucleus of each white blood cell automatically. After clustering, this scheme recognizes cytoplasm of white blood cells by calculating the difference of pixel values between red band and green band in RGB color space. Experimental results show that the proposed method can segment nuclei and cytoplasm of white blood cells efficiently and accurately. |
