Classifying White Blood Cells in Blood Smear Images using a Convolutional Neural Network

We have tried to automate the classification task of white blood cells by using a Convolutional Neural Network. We have divided white blood cell classification in two types of problems, a binary class problem and a 4-classification problem. In binary class problem we classify white blood cell as either mononuclear or Grenrecules. In 4-classification problem where cells are classified into their subtypes (monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils). In our experiment we were able to achieve validation accuracy of 100% in binary classification and 98.40 in multiple classifications.
