Malaria detection in Segmented Blood Cell using Convolutional Neural Networks and Canny Edge Detection

Tahsinur Rahman Talukdar, Mohammad Jaber Hossain, Tahmid H. Talukdar

We apply convolutional neural networks to identify between malaria infected and non-infected segmented cells from the thin blood smear slide images. We optimize our model to find over 95% accuracy in malaria cell detection. We also apply Canny image processing to reduce training file size while maintaining comparable accuracy (~ 94%).
