    White blood cell (WBC) classification plays a crucial role in diagnosing various hematological conditions, including infections, immune disorders, and leukemia. This study presents an automated approach for WBC detection and classification using the YOLOv5 deep learning model. The system integrates a 1.3MP microscope camera with a stepper motor-driven platform for real-time imaging and classification. The dataset consists of five WBC types: basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils, with image enhancement and data augmentation applied to improve model performance. The trained YOLOv5 model achieved a classification accuracy of 92.61% and a validation accuracy of 95.86%, demonstrating high precision and recall in WBC identification. The results indicate that this system can effectively automate WBC analysis, reducing manual effort and improving diagnostic accuracy. This approach has potential applications in clinical hematology, offering a rapid and reliable method for WBC classification.

    The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence has brought significant advancements in Deep Learning, a widely applied subfield across various industries, including healthcare. This study focuses on leveraging Deep Learning and image processing techniques to classify white blood cells (WBCs). By comparing and evaluating multiple convolution neural network (CNN) models, such as GoogLeNet, ResNet50, VGG16, and Squeezenet, including YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm known for its segmentation capabilities, the objective is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of WBC recognition and classification. During training, both VGG16 and ResNet50 models achieved the highest accuracies, with VGG16 at 97.70% and ResNet50 at 97.38%. However, ResNet50 was chosen as the preferred model to be utilized alongside YOLO for improved classification and segmentation advancements. The testing phase of ResNet50 utilized 10% of the dataset from the initial data and demonstrated over 90% accuracy in each class. The process showed higher efficiency and lower capital costs, making it suitable for medical applications aided by Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Networks, addressing limitations in white blood cell classification.

    White blood cells (WBCs) provide a significant role in the immune system, and precise classification and quantification are critical for detecting a variety of diseases. This work employs the VGG16 model combined with transfer learning to improve WBC classification and counting in blood smear pictures. We utilized a dataset of 1,651 images, including samples from normal bone marrow and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cases, to train and evaluate the model. The workflow incorporates data augmentation, Otsu thresholding, and morphological operators to improve segmentation accuracy. The VGG16-based model achieved a high accuracy of 92.37%, with validation accuracy reaching 96.41 %. Performance metrics were evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F -measure, highlighting that eosinophils provided the highest accuracy, while neutrophils demonstrated the best precision. The model effectively distinguishes between normal and elevated WBC counts, as evidenced by the results from normal and CML blood smears. Despite these promising results, further refinement is suggested. Future work may focus on specific WBC types, such as monocytes or neutrophils, to improve precision and balance memory efficiency. This approach has the potential to advance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in medical image analysis.
