WBC YOLO-ViT : 2 Way - 2 stage white blood cell detection and classification with a combination of YOLOv5 and vision transformer

Accurate detection and classification of white blood cells, otherwise known as leukocytes, play a critical role in diagnosing and monitoring various illnesses. However, conventional methods, such as manual classification by trained professionals, must be revised in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and potential bias. Moreover, applying deep learning techniques to detect and classify white blood cells using microscopic images is challenging owing to limited data, resolution noise, irregular shapes, and varying colors from different sources. This study presents a novel approach integrating object detection and classification for numerous type-white blood cell. We designed a 2-way approach to use two types of images: WBC and nucleus. YOLO (fast object detection) and ViT (powerful image representation capabilities) are effectively integrated into 16 classes. The proposed model demonstrates an exceptional 96.449% accuracy rate in classification.
