Abstract

Red blood cell (RBC) counting is of great medical significance in clinical examination. Commonly, the cell counting task is completed by microscopic examination, which requires a high resolution. This paper proposes an automatic counting system of red blood cells based on Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) and estimates the RBC number via a convolutional neural network (CNN). The counting network is based on a regression model, using a VGG-16 network combined with a feature pyramid network (FPN). The experimental results show that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of our counting network can reach 0.86%, which means a high accuracy.
