Background

Project Workflow

This project was largely done as a summer 2020 intern in Dr. Mikael Bjorklund's
lab, whose guidance, resources, and time I am grateful for.

The aim was to automate a549 and rpe cancer cell segmentation and size determination.

RPE Sample

Sample data(10 random images each of train, validate, test sets) is provided in original_data.

A complete a549 cancer cell segmentation notebook is also provided.

Finally, pre-trained weights are provided that can be used for transfer learning. These were trained on considerably more data and for more epochs. For more pre-trained weights and/or data, please contact the author.

Note

  • To generate masks(labels) provided here a549 cancer cells were stained and imaged with fluorescence microscopy. These fluorescent images were then thresholded with threshold_images with a threshold value of 83. The images were then saved with save_images. The original fluorescent images are not provided here mainly due to the already huge size of the project.

  • This project is not limited to cancer cells. The model can be trained on almost any object, living and non-living. More examples are given below.

Detailed Sample Usage

Script mode

python -m cytounet -t "examples/original_data/a549/train" -i "images" -m "masks" -v 
"examples/original_data/a549/validation" -l "1e-8" -s 512 -ep 5 -se 250 -b 8 -tt "examples/original_data/a549/test/" 
-w "models/a549_test/test_model" -o "Adam" -mt "dice_coef" -ls "dice_coef_loss" -sd 2 -f 0 -p 0

To get help:

python -m cytounet -h

Experiments/Benchmarks

This section shows some experimental results based on publicly available data.

  • Comparison of low vs high quality masks on the model's output

This notebook shows the effects of "filled holes"(outlines whose area is filled with some colour e.g. white) on the model's quality. The results in general show that filled masks which are also better seen by the human eye result in better quality output.

The notebook can be accessed via this link.

Credits

This repository has considerably diverged from the original implementation hence the need to distribute it separately.

This decision was taken in part due to the relative inactivity of the original implementation which would have made it harder to collaborate. Please take a look at the list of changes from the original implementation.

  • The Unet algorithm was introduced by Ronneberger et al. in their paper.
