Improving deep learning-based segmentation of diatoms in gigapixel-sized virtual slides by object-based tile positioning and object integrity constraint.

Diatoms represent one of the morphologically and taxonomically most diverse groups of microscopic eukaryotes. Light microscopy-based taxonomic identification and enumeration of frustules, the silica shells of these microalgae, is broadly used in aquatic ecology and biomonitoring. One key step in eme...
