EMFE: A lightweight, explainable machine learning framework for malaria cell classification

Automated malaria diagnosis from stained blood-smear microscopy is dominated by deep convolutional neural networks that are accurate but computationally expensive, poorly interpretable, and rarely validated with patient-level rigor. We present EMFE (Efficient Mathematical Feature Extraction), a five-feature framework for classifying single red-blood-cell images as parasitized or uninfected using Gray World color normalization, adaptive green-channel thresholding, morphological spot detection, and classical machine learning. Using the NIH LHNCBC malaria dataset (27,558 images from 200 patients)
