In the medical field, the analysis of the blood sample of the patient is a critical task. Abnormalities in blood cells are accountable for various health issues. Red blood cells (RBCs) are one of the major components of blood. Classifying the RBC can allow us to diagnose different diseases. The traditional, time-consuming technique of visualizing RBC manually under the microscope, is a tedious task and may lead to wrong interpretation because of the human error. The various health conditions can change the shape, texture, and size of normal RBCs. The proposed method has involved the use of image processing to classify the RBCs with the help of convolution neural networks. The algorithm can extract the feature of each segmented cell image and classify it into 9 various types. Images of blood slides were collected from the hospital. The overall accuracy was 98.5%. The system has been developed to provide accurate and fast results that can save patients’ lives.
