Figure 1: Comparison of different methods on microscopic images containing overlapping cells.
From: Accurate Morphology Preserving Segmentation of Overlapping Cells based on Active Contours
Top row from left to right: (a) Original image; (b) Result (Region of Interest) obtained by adaptive threshold using CellProfiler7; (c) Results of CellProfiler standard segmentation method; (d) Results with the proposed “multi-layer gas of near-circles” method; (e) Precision, recall and Jaccard index of segmented objects (‘o’ and ‘p’ indicate that the metrics are computed at the object and pixel level respectively).
