While a quickly retrained cellpose network (only on xy slices, no need to train on xz or yz slices) is giving good results in 2D, the anisotropy of the SIM image prevents its usage in 3D. Here the workflow consists in applying 2D cellpose segmentation and then using the CellStich libraries to optimize the 3D labelling of objects from the 2D independant labels.

Here the provided notebook is fully compatible with Google Collab and can be run by uploading your own images to your gdrive. A model is provided to be replaced by your own (create by CellPose 2.0)

CellStich proposes a set of tools for 3D segmentation from 2D segmentation: it reassembles 2D labels obtained from cell in slices in unique 3D labels across slices. It isparticularly robust to anisotropy, and is the ideal companion to cellpose 2D models or other 2D deep learning based models. One could also think about using it for cell tracking by overlap (using time as a third dimension).

Image segmentation and object detection performance measures

The goal of this package is to provide easy-to-use tools for evaluation of the performance of segmentation methods in biomedical image analysis and beyond, and to fasciliate the comparison of different methods by providing standardized implementations. This package currently only supports 2-D image data.

SuperDSM is a globally optimal segmentation method based on superadditivity and deformable shape models for cell nuclei in fluorescence microscopy images and beyond.

MATLAB app to characterize nanoparticles imaged with super-resolution microscopy. nanoFeatures will read text and csv files from the NIKON and ONI microscopes and from the ThunderSTORM Fiji plugin, then cluster the localizations and filter by size and sphericity and finally output nanoparticle features like size, aspect ratio, and number of localizations per cluster (total and for each channel).
