  Automated Blood Cell Counting and Disease Identification Using Image Processing: Implications for Polymer Composite- Based Biomedical Diagnostic Devices

  By Hari Krishnan G, Sheeba Santhosh, Mohandass G, NMG Kumar, Ram Prasad Reddy M

  Abstract: Accurate quantification of blood cells is central to clinical decision-making and to the performance of emerging polymer composite–based diagnostic platforms. This work presents a cost-effective, image-processing pipeline for automated counting of red blood cells (including overlapping cells), white blood cells, and platelets from Leishman-stained peripheral blood smears, and articulates its relevance to polymer composite microfluidic and biosensor devices. Implemented in Python with OpenCV, the workflow performs grayscale conversion, median/Gaussian denoising, …

  Dual-Stream Deep Learning Framework for Brain CT Image Classification and Implications for Polymer Composite Neuro Implant Evaluation

  By Hari Krishnan G, Umashankar G, Sheeba Santhosh, Ram Prasad Reddy M, Venkata Prasanth B

  Abstract: Early and accurate classification of brain CT images is critical for diagnosing conditions such as aneurysms, tumors, and related lesions. We present a dual-stream image-classification framework that fuses convolutional neural network (CNN) features with handcrafted Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptors to jointly capture global semantics and local textural cues. The pipeline begins with modality unification via pixel-wise averaging to form a fused input, which is then processed in parallel …
