Automated Instance Segmentation of Peripheral Nerve Microscopy Images: A Novel Pipeline for Morphometric Analysis in Regenerative Medicine
摘要
We introduce Mysh, an automated tool for instance segmentation and morphometric analysis of peripheral nerve light microscopy images. It employs a two-stage pipeline: a U-Net first segments axons, followed by separation using Connected Component Labeling. Then, a second U-Net segments the myelin for each individual axon. While computationally demanding, Mysh outperforms AxonDeepSeg on all semantic segmentation metrics and enables precise morphometric analysis at the single-axon level.
