Description

Two datasets consisting of white blood cell (WBC) images were tested in our experiments. These two datasets are chosen for our experiments, as they are significantly different from each other in terms of the image color, cell shape, background, etc., which can better evaluate the robustness of the proposed approach. The ground truth segmentation results are manually sketched by domain experts, where the nuclei, cytoplasms and background including red blood cells are marked in white, gray and black respectively. We also submitted the segmentation results by our approach, where the whole WBC region are marked in white and the others are marked in black. Dataset 1 was obtained from Jiangxi Tecom Science Corporation, China. It contains three hundred 120×120 images of WBCs and their color depth is 24 bits. The images of Dataset 1 were taken by a Motic Moticam Pro 252A optical microscope camera with a N800-D motorized auto-focus microscope, and the blood smears were processed with a newly-developed hematology reagent for rapid WBC staining. The overall background of images in Dataset one looks yellow. Dataset 2 consists of one hundred 300×300 color images, which were collected from the CellaVision blog (http://blog.cellavision.com). The cell images are generally purple and may contain many red blood cells around the white blood cells, which is quite different from Dataset 1.
