Detection of Virus and Small Cell Patches in Foci Images Using Switchable Convolution and Feature Pyramid Networks

Accurate detection and counting of virus patches in focus-forming unit (FFU) images, also known as foci images, are important for quantifying viral infection and analyzing cellular structures. This task is challenging because biomedical targets often vary substantially in size, density, contrast, and shape. In this paper, we propose an enhanced YOLOv2-based detector that integrates a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) to improve multi-scale feature representation. We also incorporate a switchable atrous convolution mechanism to adapt the receptive field for fine-grained targets in dense microscopy images. The proposed method is evaluated on biomedical foci image datasets for virus patch and small cell patch detection. For small cell patch detection, the model achieves a mean average precision (mAP) of 40.5% at a 25% Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold. For FFU virus patch detection, the model achieves an mAP of 68%. These results indicate that combining FPN-based feature fusion with switchable convolution improves the suitability of YOLOv2 for specialized biomedical object detection tasks
