Abstract:

This letter discusses the solution of the problem of automatic erythrometry, using a modified Hough transform based on a method developed earlier for distinguishing and counting erythrocytes. The proposed method makes it possible to construct a Price–Jones curve from the images of blood smears.

Keywords:

erythrometry, Hough transform, erythrocytes, Price–Jones curve
