Dried Blood Droplet Images Dataset.

This is a dataset of dried blood droplet images which were taken from thirty healthy, recreationally active, non-smoking, males provided written informed consent to take part in the study.
Droplet images were recorded using a CASIO EX-Z1000 digital camera in HDR super-macro mode with fixed magnification, with resolution 150px/mm mounted 9cm above a white flat backlight (The Imaging Source DCL/BK.WI 5070/EU). Reflections from other lights in the room were eliminated using screens. As the dried deposits had a tendency to flake or peel, the slides were carefully transferred from the drying chamber and placed directly on top of the backlight. Images were cropped manually to contain one complete droplet per image.

The experimental protocols (exercise test and blood sampling) were approved by the Nottingham Trent University Human Ethical Review Committee.

The study conformed to the standard set by the Declaration of Helsinki.

Informed consent was obtained from all Participants/volunteers.
