• Abstract: Recently, the use of circle representation has emerged as a method to improve the identification of spherical objects (such as glomeruli, cells, and nuclei) in medical imaging studies. In traditional bounding box-based object detection, combining results from multiple models improves accuracy, especially when real-time processing isn't crucial. Unfortunately, this widely adopted strategy is not readily available for combining circle representations. In this paper, we propose Weighted Circle Fusion (WCF), a simple approach for merging predictions from various circle detection models. Our method leverages confidence scores associated with each proposed bounding circle to generate averaged circles. Our method undergoes thorough evaluation on a proprietary dataset for glomerular detection in object detection within whole slide imaging (WSI). The findings reveal a performance gain of 5 %, respectively, compared to existing ensemble methods. Furthermore, the Weighted Circle Fusion technique not only improves the precision of object detection in medical images but also notably decreases false detections, presenting a promising direction for future research and application in pathological image analysis.
