Using Deep Learning to ease scientific image analysis - Tech Explorist

The microscope is mainly used for imaging applications to analyze terabytes of data per day. These applications can profit by late advances in computer vision and profound learning. Now, in collaboration with robotic microscopy applications, Google engineers have assembled high-quality image datasets that separate signal from noise. In "Assessing Microscope Image Focus Quality with Deep Learning", researchers trained a deep neural network to rate the focus quality of microscopy images with higher accuracy than previous methods. They added the pre-trained TensorFlow model with plugins in Fiji (ImageJ) and CellProfiler, two leading open source scientific image analysis tools to use with the graphical user interface or invoked via scripts.
