Cell Detection Using Extremal Regions in a Semisupervised Learning Framework

Table 1

Comparison of inference methods for phase-contrast hela cells. SS + ILASTIK refers to our semisupervised method using pixel probability maps from ILASTIK. The unlabeled data has contributions from both the training and testing images.
