Abstract
The impact of digital image processing is increasing by
the day for its use in the medical and research areas.
Proper identification of diseases is very crucial step for
curing disease. In many cases microscopic analysis of
peripheral blood samples by medical practitioner is an
important test in the procedures for the diagnosis of any
blood related disease and accurate diagnosis of disease is
crucial for curing and controlling that disease. Some of
the developed expert systems diagnosing various diseases
using digital images of blood samples were prone to a
variety of types of noise which affect image acquisition
process that result in pixel values that do not reflect the
true intensities of the real scene. The presence of noise in
an image could result into wrong and incorrect
information which could have possible consequence on the
given image. Hence there is need for proper and adequate
removal of noise during processing of images so as to
obtain valuable and important information necessary for
classification and diagnosis. In this paper, a comparison of
performance of three selected noise removal algorithms
(Median filter Ordinary filter and Weiner filter) was
carried out on sickle cell images. The results revealed that
the median filter showed high performance accuracy than
the other filter types.
