Abstract
Malaria is one of the most serious parasitic infections of human. The accurate and timely diagnosis of malaria infection is essential to control and cure the disease. Some image processing algorithms to automate the diagnosis of malaria on thin blood smears are developed, but the percentage of parasitaemia is often not as precise as manual count. One reason resulting in this error is ignoring the cells at the borders of images. In order to solve this problem, a kind of diagnosis scheme within large field of view (FOV) is proposed. It includes three steps. The first step is image mosaicing to obtain large FOV based on space-time manifolds. The second step is the segmentation of erythrocytes where an improved Hough Transform is used. The third step is the detection of nucleated components. At last, it is concluded that the counting accuracy of malaria infection within large FOV is finer than several regular FOVs
