erythrocytesIDB (Version 2,
October 2017)
Goals
The creation of this database, which we call erythrocytesIDB, will advance the Erythrocytes shape classification. The motivation behind this dataset is that, as a research community, we need to compare a variety of different methods to find which choices are most important for a practical and robust solution.
Data description
The erythrocytesIDB contains images of peripheral blood smears samples taken from patients with Sickle Cell Disease in Special Hematology Department of the General Hospital ÔDr. Juan Bruno Zayas AlfonsoÕ from Santiago de Cuba. They are distributed like this:

Adquisition
Images were obtained as follows:
A. Sample
preparation:
Samples were obtained from volunteer patients, using a lancet to obtain a drop of blood in a plate, that it was extended and dried, it was fixed with absolute alcohol and it was stained with Giemsa in a proportion of 2 % of reagent for 1 ml of distilled water. They were dried from 15 to 20 minutes again and washing with distilled water.
B. Image
acquisition
Images were taken with a Leika microscope with 100x augmented lens and a Kodak EasyShare V803 camera with Kodak Retinar Aspheric All Glass Lens of 36-108 mm AF 3X Optical lens, no professional.
C. Cell classification:
A 1st Grade specialist in Clinical Laboratory from the Special Hematology Department analyzed the images. Cells were classified in circular; elongated or cell with other deformations, and the specialist also determined the clusters with cells overlapped and the types of cells in those clusters.
