Classification of Leukocytes

Classification of Leukocytes

Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...

Area of Science:

Bioimage analysis
Machine learning
Computational biology

Background:

Automated bioimage classification often requires difficult object segmentation.
Previous methods like WND-CHARM avoided segmentation but needed significant computational expertise.
Existing benchmark datasets may contain artifacts that inflate accuracy assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a user-friendly, segmentation-free bioimage classification algorithm.
To make advanced image-based classification accessible to a broader research community.
To provide a reliable assessment of whole-image classification strategies.

Main Methods:

Developed CP-CHARM, an image-based classification algorithm inspired by WND-CHARM.
Utilized CellProfiler, an open-source image analysis software, for feature extraction.
Created new, artifact-minimized datasets for training and validation.

Main Results:

CP-CHARM demonstrated comparable performance to WND-CHARM.
The algorithm successfully classified cell-based assay data and tissue images.
New datasets confirmed the reliability of the whole-image classification approach.

Conclusions:

CP-CHARM retains WND-CHARM's strengths (whole-image feature extraction, no segmentation) while enhancing accessibility.
The CellProfiler implementation makes advanced bioimage classification available to researchers lacking computational expertise.
CP-CHARM provides a robust and reliable tool for diverse bioimage classification tasks, validated on carefully curated datasets.
