About BCCD Dataset

Overview

This is a dataset of blood cells photos, originally open sourced by cosmicad and akshaylambda.

There are 364 images across three classes: WBC (white blood cells), RBC (red blood cells), and Platelets. There are 4888 labels across 3 classes (and 0 null examples).

Here's a class count from Roboflow's Dataset Health Check:

And here's an example image:

Blood Cell Example

Fork this dataset (upper right hand corner) to receive the raw images, or (to save space) grab the 500x500 export.

Use Cases

This is a small scale object detection dataset, commonly used to assess model performance. It's a first example of medical imaging capabilities.

Using this Dataset

We're releasing the data as public domain. Feel free to use it for any purpose.

It's not required to provide attribution, but it'd be nice! :)

Use Free Platelets, RBC and WBC Detection API

Powered by general detection model

Code
pip install inference-sdk
# 1. Import the library
from inference_sdk import InferenceHTTPClient

# 2. Connect to your workspace
client = InferenceHTTPClient(
  api_url="https://serverless.roboflow.com",
  api_key="API_KEY"
)

# 3. Run your workflow on an image
result = client.run_workflow(
  workspace_name="<YOUR_WORKSPACE>",
  workflow_id="<YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID>",
  images={
    "image": "YOUR_IMAGE.jpg"  # Path to your image file
  },
  parameters={
    "classes": "Platelets, RBC, WBC"
  },
  use_cache=True  # cache workflow definition for 15 minutes
)

# 4. Get your results
print(result)
