Abstract

Identifying the cells, such as pus and epithelial cells, from microscopic images is one of the important steps in medical diagnostics. Microscopic examination by hand is labor-intensive and unreliable. Therefore, it is helpful to have an automated approach for classifying these cells to enable quick and accurate diagnosis. Creating a model for automated cell identification is challenging because of the numerous variable parameters such as various stains and magnifications and cell overlapping. This paper offers a robust object detection model that detects the pus and epithelial cells images obtained from the microscopic analysis of direct samples of Gram-stained patient samples such as pus and sputum. This paper also presents a novel classifier that addresses the overlapping issues present in the cells. The proposed methodology offers an mAP of 0.87 and a classification accuracy of 94.5%.
