bloodSampleImageAnalysis
The project is about developing a simple, reliable and cost-effective testing platform for detection of certain types of biomarkers in blood samples by taking images from a smart phone camera.
Such a project will be of great importance to the community. Detecting cancer biomarkers from a drop of blood reliably and quickly will improve health-care systems. Such a system will make testing easier and deliver results very quickly.
Also, if the application can display messages in accordance with the measurements, the user need not be a practitioner of medicine or a trained professional. By following simple instructions anyone can obtain analysis on a drop of blood in a cost-effective manner.
This was done as a part of Helikar Lab preliminary proposal for Google Summer of Code 2015. (Did not get accepted)
#File descriptions
-Run the main.cpp to call functions.
-measureVolume.cpp detects blobs and calculates volume (in terms of pixel intensity)
-calcMuSigma.cpp returns mean and std. deviation of given data
-Normalize.cpp scales the volume to [0,1] interval
-header.h links all the function files together
