Analysis of Microscopic Blood Samples for Detecting Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease and it has been affecting millions of people worldwide since decades ago. The conventional method in diagnosing the blood disease is by using manual visual examination of microscopy blood smears. However, a computer-assisted system can be designed to assist in mal...
