An Application of Pixel Interval Down-Sampling (PID) for Dense Tiny Microorganism Counting on Environmental Microorganism Images

This paper proposes a novel pixel interval down-sampling network (PID-Net) for dense tiny object (yeast cells) counting tasks with higher accuracy. The PID-Net is an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) model with an encoder–decoder architecture. The pixel interval down-sampling operations...
