Abstract

Development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for early detection of leukemia is very essential for the betterment of medical purpose. In recent years, a variety of CAD system has been proposed for the detection of leukemia. Acute leukemia is a malignant neoplastic disorder that influences a larger fraction of world population. In modern medical science, there are sufficient newly formulated methodologies for the early detection of leukemia. Such advanced technologies include medical image processing methods for the detection of the syndrome. This paper shows that use of a highly appropriate feature extraction technique is required for the classification of a disease. In the field of image processing and machine learning approach, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is a well-known technique. Nucleus features are extracted from the RGB image. The proposed method provides an opportunity to fine-tune the accuracy for the detection of the disease. Experimental results using publicly available dataset like ALL-IDB shows the superiority of the proposed method with SVM classifier comparing it with some other standard classifiers.
