Leukocyte classifications by size functions

Abstract

Leukocytes are divided into classes. Their automatic classification is accomplished by means of site functions, based on two measuring functions defined expressly for taking into account the specific morphological features of the cell classes. A successful experimentation on 45 cells is reported. The original contribution resides in the use of this new geometrical-topological technique, size theory, so confirming its suitableness for recognition of natural objects.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
