Automated localization of a valid area of a blood smear and, thus, localization requiring less effort and being more objective is enabled in that a picture of the blood smear pixels are classified at least into first pixels, which represent blood cells, and second pixels, which do not represent the blood cells, and the valid area is then found on the basis of a local frequency of pixel clusters of at least Amin first pixels, Amin being a minimum threshold for a number of first pixels of a pixel cluster, and a local average size of the pixel clusters for laterally distributed areas of the blood smear. |
