Why LACSS?

LACSS is designed to utilize point labels for model training. You have three options:

Method Data(left) / Label(right)
Point
Point + Mask
Segmentation

You can of course also combined these labels in any way you want.

What is included?

  • A library for training LACSS model and performing inference
  • A few pretrained models as transfer learning starting point
  • SMC-based cell tracking utility for people interested in cell tracking

How to generate point label?

If your data include nuclei counter-stain, the easist way to generate point label for your image is to use a blob detection algorithm on the nuclei images:
