Single-cell gel electrophoresis is the standard test used by biomedical researchers to
analyze damage to the cell. Currently, this test is only done using standard image
processing techniques, that skews the outputs, requires manual work and/or human
supervision. Other problems with current solutions include poor usability, lack of
flexibility, and high price for commercial applications. In this work, we create a deep
learning-based end2end pipeline, that receives images from the test as an input, and
produces damage metrics as an output. We have trained UNet with SE-ResNet50
encoder on the custom-created synthetic dataset, which achieves the dice coefficient
of 76.8. We hope that the results of this work will become the base of the easy-to-use
open-source application available for any researcher. |
