Abstract Adequate oxygen in red blood cells carrying through the body to the heart and brain is important to maintain life. For those patients requiring blood, blood transfusion is a common procedure in which donated blood or blood components are given through an intravenous line. However, detecting the need for blood transfusion is time-consuming and sometimes not easily diagnosed, such as internal bleeding. This study considered physiological signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), blood pressure, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and respiration, and proposed the machine learning model to detect the need for blood transfusion accurately. For the model, this study extracted… More >

Abstract The present paper proposes a novel system that automatically classifies the eight different blood groups according to the ABO and Rh blood group systems. The proposed system is developed by applying MATLAB’s image processing techniques on the blood sample images. These images are acquired from the laboratory using the slide test. It utilizes a mean filter for removing noise from blood sample images. In addition, the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is used for enhancing the image characteristics analysis. The proposed system also utilizes the automated threshold strategy (Otsu’s approach) for obtaining the blood samples binary images. Since, adding… More >
