    Abstract :

    Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that usually begins in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells in human. The amount and condition of WBC are the two important features that play a significant role in the diagnosis of blood cancer detection, and therefore for hematologists extracting information about WBC play an important role. The accuracy of white blood cells analysis is dependent on the segmentation of objects of microscopic images as blood cells are of different sizes, shapes, colors and largely overlapped on each other. In past, many researchers have done work of segmentation of white blood cells but still accurate segmentation and blood cell counting is a major challenge. The main objective of this paper is to perform analysis of segmentation techniques involved related to white blood cells to achieve maximum accuracy.
