• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for multi-object microbial cell segmentation. The approach combines an ML-based detection with a geometry-aware variational-based segmentation using B-splines that are parametrized based on a geometric model of the cell shape. The detection is done first using YOLOv5. In a second step, each detected cell is segmented individually. Thus, the segmentation only needs to be done on a per-cell basis, which makes it amenable to a variational approach that incorporates prior knowledge on the geometry. Here, the contour of the segmentation is modelled as closed uniform cubic B-spline, whose control points are parametrized using the known cell geometry. Compared to purely ML-based segmentation approaches, which need accurate segmentation maps as training data that are very laborious to produce, our method just needs bounding boxes as training data. Still, the proposed method performs on par with ML-based segmentation approaches usually used in this context. We study the performance of the proposed method on time-lapse microscopy data of Corynebacterium glutamicum.

  The Latent Dirichlet Allocation model is a popular method for creating mixed-membership clusters. We propose a new formulation for the LDA model which incorporates covariates. We use slice sampling within a Gibbs sampling algorithm to estimate model parameters. The model is illustrated using real data sets from three different areas: text-mining of Coronavirus articles, analysis of grocery shopping baskets, and ecology of tree species on Barro Colorado Island (Panama)

  Instance segmentation is of great importance for many biological applications, such as study of neural cell interactions, plant phenotyping, and quantitatively measuring how cells react to drug treatment. Box-based instance segmentation methods capture objects via bounding boxes and then perform individual segmentation within each bounding box region. Our method first detects the center points of the objects, from which the bounding box parameters are then predicted. The segmentation branch reuses the object features as guidance to separate target object from the neighboring ones within the same bounding box region.

  We propose a two-step post-processing procedure, Split and Expand, to improve the conversion of segmentation maps to instances. In the Split step, we split clumps of cells from the segmentation map into individual cell instances with the guidance of cell-center predictions. In the Expand step, we find missing small cells using the cell-center predictions.
