Abstract

Abstract: At present era, nearly 75% of the diseases are identified by analysing blood samples. There are many parameters like RBC and Platelets present in blood, of which hemoglobin is an important one. Hemoglobin is the significant thing estimated for medical procedures, during traumatic conditions, pregnancies and so on. This paper is based on blood phenotyping by processing of images procured during the slide test and also for the valuation of hemoglobin by image processing using MATLAB. It combines both the process in a single device and is handled easily. This reduces the time required to know the blood type and hemoglobin content. Another main advantage is that there is no need of skilled personnel.
