Blood Cancer Identification on Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) Images Using HSV Feature Extraction

Abstract

Blood cancer is a category of diseases that have an impact on the development and operation of blood cells. Due to the complexity and diversity of these diseases, proper diagnosis is required before starting treatment. Medical imaging techniques have undergone significant advances in recent years, especially in peripheral blood smear (PBS) image processing. The aim of this study was to uncover how important the extraction of PBS image features is for the diagnosis of blood cancer. Feature extraction is essential to detect anomalies in blood cells in terms of blood cancer detection. The method used is feature extraction based on hue and saturation values (HSV) and uses Machine Support Vector Machine (SVM) machine learning algorithms in classifying malignant and benign PBS images. PBS image data used in this study was 100 images, consisting of 50 malignant PBS images, and 50 benign PBS images. Through the application of HSV feature extraction techniques and PBS image analysis, SVM algorithms can uncover latent indicators of blood cancer and facilitate timely and precise diagnosis. With the SVM technique, classification accuracy can be achieved by 92%. These results demonstrate the potential effectiveness of this feature extraction method. Extraction of HSV features may alter the diagnosis of blood cancer with additional research and application in clinical settings.
