Malaria Detection System Using Convolutional Neural Network Algorithm

Abstract

Malaria is a disease caused when a female Anopheles mosquito bites. There are over 200 million cases recorded per year with more than 400,000 deaths. Current methods of diagnosis are effective; however, they work on technologies that do not produce higher accuracy results. Henceforth, to improve the prediction rate of the disease, modern technologies need to be performed for obtain accurate results. Deep learning algorithms are developed to detect, learn, and determine the containing parasites from the red blood smears. This chapter shows the implementation of a deep learning algorithm to identify the malaria parasites with higher accuracy.
