Detecting immature precursor cells in pathological images of bone marrow based on morphology

It is an effective means for the early diagnosis of leukemia to study immature precursor cells in marrow pathological images by computer image processing technology. This paper proposed a new method about localization of immature precursor cells in Pathological images of bone marrow. Firstly, we use modified OSTU method to binarize the image; then we process the image with morphological operations, combined with their own characteristics and the sizes of cells; finally we obtain the right results of cellular localization. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has a better performance on immature precursor cells identification, which addresses the problem unsolved in specific situation with general image segmentation methods. This lays a foundation for the future study in the area of distribution of cells.
