Abstract: The acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) is one of the types of acute leukaemia that is seen in adults. Nowadays, people use manual tests of blood smear to diagnose leukaemia. This manual method requires more time and the operator's ability to diagnose the diseases. In this article, a new hybrid technique that detects AML in blood smears is presented. The proposed method uses a texture-based method - local binary pattern (LBP) and a statistical-based method - grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) to extract the features from WBC cells. The best features are selected by using a PSO algorithm and their accuracy is measured using nearest neighbour (NN)-classifier and extreme learning machine (ELM). The proposed method was tested using American Society of Hematology (ASH) public datasets and achieved promising results. The ASH database consists of 80 images, where 40 images are taken from AML patients and the remaining 40 are from non-AML patients. The proposed method, LBP+GLCM+PSO along with the ELM classifier achieved an accuracy of 90.44%. The experiment shows that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods in the detection of AML.
