摘要
White blood cell (WBC) classification is pivotal in medical image analysis, playing a critical role in the precise diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed specifically for the classification of WBC images. Our model, trained on an extensive dataset, automates the extraction of discriminative features essential for accurate subtype identification. We conducted comprehensive experiments on a publicly available image dataset to validate the efficacy of our methodology. Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art methods shows that our approach significantly outperforms existing models in accurately categorizing WBCs into their respective subtypes. An in-depth analysis of the features learned by the CNN reveals key insights into the morphological traits-such as shape, size, and texture-that contribute to its classification accuracy. Importantly, the model demonstrates robust generalization capabilities, suggesting its high potential for real-world clinical implementation. Our findings indicate that the proposed CNN architecture can substantially enhance the precision and efficiency of WBC subtype identification, offering significant improvements in medical diagnostics and patient care.
