摘要
En 中文
Microscopic cell detection is a challenging task due to significant inter-cell occlusions in dense clusters and diverse cell morphologies. This paper introduces a novel framework designed to enhance automated cell detection. The proposed approach integrates a deep learning model that produces an inverse distance transform-based detection map from the given image, accompanied by a secondary network designed to regress a cell density map from the same input. The inverse distance transform-based map effectively highlights each cell instance in the densely populated areas, while the density map accurately estimates the total cell count in the image. Then, a custom counting-aided cell center extraction strategy leverages the cell count obtained by integrating over the density map to refine the detection process, significantly reducing false responses and thereby boosting overall accuracy. The proposed framework demonstrated superior performance with F-scores of 96.93%, 91.21%, and 92.00% on the VGG, MBM, and ADI datasets, respectively, surpassing existing state-of-the-art methods. It also achieved the lowest distance error, further validating the effectiveness of the proposed approach. These results demonstrate significant potential for automated cell analysis in biomedical applications.
