Malaria which is caused by Plasmodium parasite is one of the diseases that can cause death in patients. Detection of plasmodium parasites on the Red Blood Cell (RBC) image can help diagnose malaria quickly and accurately, especially in the areas that lacked medical expertise. This research proposes a detection method of plasmodium parasite at RBC using double thresholding for improving accuracy of detection. Our method is able to achieved Predictive Positive Value (PPV) and Sensitivity about 92.85% and 85.52% respectively.
