Python scripts / Jupyter Notebooks and data for training segmentation models on slide scans of diatom preparations from river Menne

This archive contains the Jupyter Notebooks and data used for the deep learning experiments published in Kloster et al. 2022: Improving deep learning-based segmentation of diatoms in gigapixel-sized virtual slides by object-based tile positioning and object integrity constraint.

The notebooks are numbered according to the order in which they are to execute. Please refer to the comments and documentation within the notebooks as well as to the manuscript for details. The data (image data, mask data & segmentation ground truth in COCO format for several different tiling strategies) is stored in separate subfolders corresponding with data usage (model training, validation, test) and tiling strategy. Please refer to the "readme" files for detailed information.
