Microscopy Image
Microscopy image analysis focuses on extracting quantitative information and insights from microscopic images across diverse scientific domains. Current research emphasizes automated segmentation and analysis using deep learning models, particularly U-Net, Vision Transformers, and the Segment Anything Model (SAM), often coupled with techniques like contrastive learning and multiple instance learning to handle noisy or incomplete data. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like biomedical research (e.g., cell tracking, disease diagnosis), materials science (e.g., defect detection), and manufacturing (e.g., quality control), enabling higher-throughput analysis and more precise measurements than traditional methods. Furthermore, research is actively addressing challenges like image denoising, super-resolution, and the development of robust metrics for evaluating model performance on microscopy-specific data characteristics.
