cellseg-models-pytorch 0.1.28

Introduction

cellseg-models.pytorch is a library built upon PyTorch that contains multi-task encoder-decoder architectures along with dedicated post-processing methods for segmenting cell/nuclei instances. As the name might suggest, this library is heavily inspired by segmentation_models.pytorch library for semantic segmentation.

What's new? 📢

• Simplified model usage
• First pre-trained models in csmp-hub. More to come soon!

Features 🌟

• High level API to define cell/nuclei instance segmentation models.
• 6 cell/nuclei instance segmentation model architectures
• Open source datasets for training and benchmarking.
• Flexibility to modify the components of the model architectures.
• Sliding window inference for large images.
• Popular training losses and benchmarking metrics.
• Benchmarking utilities
• Regularization techniques to tackle batch effects/domain shifts such as Strong Augment, Spectral decoupling, Label smoothing.

Quick Start 💻

Initialize a pre-trained model and run inference

pip install cellseg-models-pytorch
pip install albumentations

from albumentations import Resize, Compose
from cellseg_models_pytorch.models.cellpose import CellPose
from cellseg_models_pytorch.utils import FileHandler
from cellseg_models_pytorch.transforms.albu_transforms import MinMaxNormalization

# intialize nuclei segmentation model trained on HGSC data
# see models in https://huggingface.co/csmp-hub
model = CellPose.from_pretrained(weights="hgsc_v1_efficientnet_b5")

model.set_inference_mode()

# Resize to multiple of 32 of your own choosing
transform = Compose([Resize(1024, 1024), MinMaxNormalization()])

im = FileHandler.read_img(IMG_PATH)
im = transform(image=im)["image"]

prob = model.predict(im)
out = model.post_process(prob)
# out = {"nuc": [(nuc instances (H, W), nuc types (H, W))], "cyto": None, "tissue": None}
