Abstract
Embodiments discussed herein facilitate automated and/or semi-automated segmentation of endothelial cells via a trained deep learning model. One example embodiment is a method, comprising: accessing an optical microscopy image comprising a set of corneal endothelial cells of a patient of a keratoplasty; pre-processing the optical microscopy image to generate a pre-processed optical microscopy image via correcting for at least one of shading or illumination artifacts in the optical microscopy image; segmenting, based at least in part on a trained deep learning (DL) model, a plurality of corneal endothelial cells of the set of corneal endothelial cells in the pre-processed optical microscopy image; and displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI), at least the segmented plurality of corneal endothelial cells.
