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)

The method proposed in this paper is a robust combination of multi-task learning and unsupervised domain adaptation for segmenting amoeboid cells in microscopy. This end-to-end framework provides a consolidated mechanism to harness the potential of multi-task learning to isolate and segment clustered cells from low contrast brightfield images, and it simultaneously leverages deep domain adaptation to segment fluorescent cells without explicit pixel-level re- annotation of the data.

The entry-point to the codebase is the main.py file. The user has the option to

• Train the network on their own dataset
• Load a pre-trained model and use that for inference on their own data
• Note: The provided pretrained model was trained on 256x256 images. Results on different resolutions could require fine-tuning This model is trained (supervised) on brightfield, and domain adapted to fluorescence data. The results are saved as 'inference.png'
