Egg-Counting Model Performance Validation Dataset, Eggsactly

This dataset provides a small set of example inputs and outputs to demonstrate the functionality of the Drosophila melanogaster egg counting tool. It includes three backlit images of eggs laid on agarose, along with their corresponding output files:

Inputs: The inputs/ directory contains three raw images (image_1.JPG, image_2.JPG, image_3.JPG) to be analyzed by the tool.

Outputs: The outputs/ directory contains results for each input image, including:

Annotated Images (*_annotated.JPG): These images show the detected egg outlines and segmented agarose areas, along with egg counts per region.

Egg Count Spreadsheets (*_counts.csv): These CSV files contain numerical counts of detected eggs, segmented by the agarose regions in each image.

This dataset is intended for use in the project’s README demo section, allowing users to test and visualize the tool’s capabilities.
