Malaria detection in Segmented Blood Cell using Convolutional Neural Networks and Canny Edge Detection

We apply convolutional neural networks to identify between malaria infected and non-infected segmented cells from the thin blood smear slide images. We optimize our model to find over 95% accuracy in malaria cell detection. We also apply Canny image processing to reduce training file size while maintaining comparable accuracy (~ 94%).
