DISCo: Deep learning, Instance Segmentation, and Correlations for cell segmentation in calcium imaging
Calcium imaging is one of the most important tools in neurophysiology as it enables the observation of neuronal activity for hundreds of cells in parallel and at single-cell resolution. In order to use the data gained with calcium imaging, it is necessary to extract individual cells and their activity from the recordings. We present DISCo, a novel approach for the cell segmentation in calcium imaging videos. We use temporal information from the recordings in a computationally efficient way by computing correlations between pixels and combine it with shape-based information to identify active as well as non-active cells. We first learn to predict whether two pixels belong to the same cell; this information is summarized in an undirected, edge-weighted grid graph which we then partition. In so doing, we approximately solve the NP-hard correlation clustering problem with a recently proposed greedy algorithm. Evaluating our method on the Neurofinder public benchmark shows that DISCo outperforms all existing models trained on these datasets.
