Claim 0:
1. A method of determining a classification of a particle in a biological sample comprising:
acquiring an image of the particle with a digital camera;
receiving the image of the particle at a processor system;
utilizing the processor system to execute computer executable code stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer executable code comprising instructions that, when executed on the processor system, cause the processor system to:
apply a first mask to the image;
acquire a first set of pixels from the image based on applying the first mask;
apply a second mask to the image, wherein applying the second mask reveals different pixels than the first mask;
acquire a second set of pixels based on applying the second mask;
extract a plurality of features from the first and second set of pixels; and
determine the classification based on at least a subset of the extracted features;
wherein the application of each mask reveals different pixels concentrically outside a center of the image.
