Abstract
In the medical field we have the technicians to analyze all the data acquired from test sample. All of this sample will then sorted and analyze for any symptom of
diseases. So, for a human eye to do this work for hours and hundreds of sample is very tedious and tiring. Also cases of error in diagnosis will commonly occur. Lab technician need to spend at least half an hour to scan each slide and this is very time consuming. Sensitivity of the human eye is only about forty percent. Even so, technicians can read not more than 20 slides per day because this leads to eye fatigue and incorrect reading. As the solutions, the development of software to analyze each sample of blood is needed to overcome this problem. The software will work to scan the entire sample according to the symptom or criteria of malaria parasites. For this project, the criteria’s and characteristic of the malaria parasite must be considered to identify whether the sample of blood is affected by the malaria parasite. After the parasites have been detected, the amount of the parasite will be count to determine the total amount of malaria parasite in the blood sample. This software will act like any human technicians or analyzer would do. This is done by analyzing the sample using the technique of image processing which will be implementing in a C++ Builder-object oriented programming. With the use of the system, it should reduce any error in diagnosis. Also we can analyze much more sample than any average human eye would do.
