Abstract
Described herein are techniques to regulate the treatment of a culture of cells having cells corresponding to different cell categories. Some techniques may be used together with a cell imaging and incubation system including an imaging sensor configured to obtain an image of the culture and an incubator configured to incubate the culture. Regulation of treatment of the culture may be based on the processing of an image of the culture obtained by the imaging sensor of the system. The processing may include segmenting the image of the culture into multiple image segments by assigning individual pixels of the image to corresponding cell categories. According to some embodiments, the techniques include determining, based on the image segments, an amount of the culture corresponding to a particular cell category. The amount of the culture corresponding to the particular cell category may inform regulation of the treatment of the culture.
