Abstract-This paper illustrates the automated diagnosis of malaria parasite (Plasmodium species) in microscopic images of Giemsa stained thin blood films. The procedure adapts a morphological approach for blood cell identification and uses the image features such as intensity, histogram, relative size and geometry for further analysis. Two methods of object classification have been described for parasite detection; one based on relative size and morphology and the other based on intensity variation. An analytical study on both methods has been performed further to validate the accuracy of the methods.

A Novel Method for Automatic Detection of Malaria Parasite Stage in Microscopic Blood Image

“…R. C. S. Morling, et.al [13] [14] detected parasites on the basis of size and morphology and has proposed an annular ring ratio method for segmentation of blood cells. Iis Hamsir Ayub Wahab, et.al [15] used different second order statistical measurement combined with the principal component analysis method for detection of malaria parasite.…”
