本文提出了一種用於顯微鏡圖像中人類誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)的自動類標記系統。該系統使用預訓練的卷積神經網絡(CNN)分類器作為分類的基礎,並產生具有類別概率的彩色編碼圖像。總共有4個類別,每個類別代表人類iPS細胞的編譯增殖過程。在我們的系統中使用的CNN包括卷積層、最大池、平均池化與全連接層,使CNN 架構又被稱為iPSNet。使用25,500個圖像的訓練集和2,400個圖像的測試集來設計和評估。與LeNet和AlexNet相比,我們的結果表明相對較高的準確度(> 95.5%)和較短的執行時間。總之,我們的系統可能被用作幫助生物學家可視化人類iPS細胞增殖過程的工具。
This paper proposes an automatic class labeling system for human induced Pluripotent Stem cells (iPS cells) in microscopy images. The system uses a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier as the basis for classification, and produces color-coded images with class probabilities. There are a total of 4 classes, each of which represents the proliferation process of human iPS cells. The CNN used in our system consists of convolutional layers, max pooling, average pooling, and a fully connected layer, called iPSNet, was designed and evaluated using a training set of 30,000 images and a test set of 2,400 images. Our results demonstrated a relatively high accuracy (>95.5%) and short execution time, when compared with LeNet and AlexNet. In summary, our system could potentially be used as a tool to help biologists visualize the proliferation process of human iPS cells.
