    Blank Frame and Intensity Variation Distortion Detection and Restoration Pipeline for Phase-Contrast Microscopy Time-Lapse Images
    (Aves, 2024) Ucar, Mahmut; Iheme, Leonardo O.; Onal, Sevgi; Pesen-Okvur, Devrim; Yalcin-Ozuysal, Ozden; Toreyin, Behcet U.; Unay, Devrim
    In this study, we propose a preprocessing pipeline for the detection and correction of distorted frames in time-lapse images obtained from phase-contrast microscopy. The proposed pipeline employs the average intensities of frames as a foundational element for the analysis. In order to evaluate the degree of correction required for intensity variance, a normalization technique is applied to the difference between the average intensity of a specific frame and the median average intensity of all frames within the study. Our restoration method increases the histogram similarity between the distorted and non-distorted frames, preserves trans-passing pixels in regions of interest, and mitigates the development of additional distortions. The efficacy of the proposed method was evaluated using 15 395 time-lapse image frames from 27 experiments using our own dataset and 830 time-lapse images from four different experiments obtained from the cell tracking challenge. The results of the validation demonstrate a high degree of numerical and visual accuracy of the proposed pipeline.

    Cell Segmentation of 2d Phase-Contrast Microscopy Images With Deep Learning Method
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Ayanzadeh, Aydın; Yağar, Hüseyin Onur; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur; Unay, Devrim; Önal, Sevgi
    The quantitative and qualitative ascertainment of cell culture is integral to the robust determination of the cell structure analysis. Microscopy cell analysis and the epithet structures of cells in cell cultures are momentous in the fields of the biological research process. In this paper, we addressed the problem of phase-contrast microscopy under cell segmentation application. In our proposed method, we utilized the state-of-the-art deep learning models trained on our proposed dataset. Due to the low number of annotated images, we propose a multi-resolution network which is based on the U-Net architecture. Moreover, we applied multi-combination augmentation to our dataset which has increased the performance of segmentation accuracy significantly. Experimental results suggest that the proposed model provides superior performance in comparison to traditional state-of-the-art segmentation algorithms.
