Fused convolutional neural network for white blood cell detection helps us to detect white blood cells including their subtypes by using Convolutional neural networks and deep learning algorithms.Deep Learning has already shown power in many application fields, and is accepted by more and more people as a better approach than the traditional machine learning models. In particular, the implementation of deep learning algorithms, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), brings huge benefits to the medical field, where a huge number of images are to be processed and analysed. This paper aims to develop a deep learning model to address the white blood cell classification problem, which is one of the most challenging problems in blood diagnosis. A CNN-based framework is built to automatically classify the white blood cell images into subtypes of the cells. Experiments are conducted on a dataset of 13k images of white blood cells with their subtypes, and the results show that our proposed model provide better results in terms of evaluation parameters.I.
