Systems, devices, and methods for image processing to generate an image having predictive tagging

Abstract

A computing device, method, system, and instructions in a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing image analysis on 3D microscopy images to predict localization and/or labeling of various structures or objects of interest, by predicting the location in such images at which a dye or other marker associated with such structures would appear. The computing device, method, and system receives sets of 3D images that include unlabeled images, such as transmitted light images or electron microscope images, and labeled images, such as images captured with fluorescence tagging. The computing device trains a statistical model to associate structures in the labeled images with the same structures in the unlabeled light images. The processor further applies the statistical model to a new unlabeled image to generate a predictive labeled image that predicts the location of a structure of interest in the new image.
