Estimating the term…
A blood cell recognition system is provided which includes scanning means for generating signals representative of a pattern in a whole blood smear scanned by the scanning means. Means for examining the signals from the scanning means for generating parameters of the pattern scanned are provided with pattern recognition means responsive to the parameters for identifying the pattern scanned and an operator keyboard for entering data relating to the pattern scanned. An interface is provided between the means for examining and the pattern recognition means which includes first temporary storage means for receiving parameters relating to a cell being scanned, and second temporary storage means for receiving data from said keyboard and buffer storage means for entry of said parameters and said data into said pattern recognition means to enable the pattern recognition means to recognize the pattern in accordance with both the parameters and the data. The data relates to a previous blood cell scanned and the parameters relate to the present blood cell scanned.
In a pattern recognition system including scanning means for generating signals representative of a pattern scanned by said scanning means, means for examining the signals from said scanning means for generating parameters of the pattern scanned, pattern recognition means responsive to said parameters for identifying the pattern scanned and an operator keyboard for entering data relating to patterns scanned, an interface between said means for examining and said pattern recognition means, said interface including first temporary storage means for receiving parameters relating to a pattern being scanned and second temporary storage means for receiving data from said keyboard and buffer storage means for concurrent entry of both said parameters and said data into said pattern recognition means to enable said pattern recognition means to adapt to recognize said pattern and like patterns in accordance with both said parameters and said data.
In a blood cell recognition system including scanning means for generating signals representative of a blood cell in a whole blood smear scanned by said scanning means, means for examining said signals from said scanning means for generating parameters of the blood cell scanned, pattern recognition means responsive to said parameters for identifying the blood cell scanned and an operator keyboard for entering data relating to blood cells scanned, an interface between said means for examining and said pattern recognition means, said interface including first temporary storage means for receiving parameters relating to a blood cell being scanned and second temporary storage means for receiving data from said keyboard and buffer storage means for entry concurrently of both said parameters and said data into said pattern recognition means to adapt to recognize said blood cell and like blood cells in accordance with both said parameters and said data.
