Abstract
A method for characterizing a mobile particle in a sample includes acquisition of at least one image of the sample during an acquisition period, using an image sensor and formation of a series of images, the series of images comprising at least one image; use of each image of the series of images as input image of a detection convolutional neural network, the detection convolutional neural network being configured to detect the particles and to produce, from each image, an output image on which each detected particle is assigned a distribution of intensity, centered on the particle and extending around the particle; for each detected particle, from each output image, estimation of a position of each detected particle in each image of the series of images; and characterization of each detected particle from the estimation of the position established from each image of the series of images.
