CIL:28717

One of the principal challenges in counting or segmenting nuclei is dealing with clustered nuclei. To help assess algorithms' performance in this regard, this synthetic image set consists of five subsets with increasing degree of clustering. Five subsets of 20 images each are provided. Each image contains 300 objects, but the objects overlap and cluster with overlap probability ranging from 0.0 to 0.6, and can be found with CIL 27833, 27853, 28754, 28734, and 28714, respectively. This image set has 0.60 probability overlap. The images were generated with the SIMCEP (http://www.cs.tut.fi/sgn/csb/simcep/tool.html) simulating platform for fluorescent cell population images (Lehmussola et al., IEEE T. Med. Imaging, 2007 and Lehmussola et al., P. IEEE, 2008). Ground truth for foreground/background segmentation are available as binary images as the second image in the tiff image stack.

细胞核计数与分割领域的核心挑战之一，在于处理成团聚集的细胞核。为助力评估相关算法的性能，本合成图像集包含五个聚类程度逐步递增的子集，每个子集含20张图像。每张图像包含300个目标对象，但这些对象存在重叠与聚集现象，重叠概率范围为0.0至0.6，各子集分别对应CIL编号27833、27853、28754、28734与28714。本图像集（对应CIL 28714）的目标重叠概率为0.60。该数据集图像由荧光细胞群体图像仿真平台（SIMCEP，http://www.cs.tut.fi/sgn/csb/simcep/tool.html）生成（Lehmussola等，《IEEE医学成像汇刊》，2007；Lehmussola等，《IEEE汇刊》，2008）。前景/背景分割的真值（Ground Truth）以二值图像形式提供，位于TIFF图像栈的第二帧位置。推荐引用说明：若使用本Synthetic 1图像集，请引用Ruusuvuori等人于2008年发表于第16届欧洲信号处理大会（EUSIPCO-2008）论文集的研究成果，该数据集可从Broad Bioimage基准数据集（Broad Bioimage Benchmark Collection，www.broad.mit.edu/bbbc）获取。
