Abstract

The instance segmentation of cell images is the basis for conducting cell research and is of great importance for the study and diagnosis of pathologies. To analyze current situations and future developments in the field of cell image instance segmentation, this paper first systematically reviews image segmentation methods based on traditional and deep learning methods. Then, from the three aspects of cell image weak label extraction, cell image instance segmentation, and cell internal structure segmentation, deep-learning-based cell image segmentation methods are analyzed and summarized. Finally, cell image instance segmentation is summarized, and challenges and future developments are discussed.Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier B.V.
