Abstract
Malaria is a major worldwide health problem, specially in
countries with tropical climates and remote areas. In this paper, we
present an automatic system for estimating malaria parasite density in
thin blood smears. The proposed approach is based on simple image processing
methods that can be implemented efficiently even on low budget
devices. The method has been tested on images acquired under different
illumination and acquisition setups and has produced encouraging
results, achieving a sensitivity of 89.3%.
