The application discloses a weakly supervised
cell nucleus segmentation method based on
wavelet difference
convolution and region expansion, and relates to the technical field of
image processing, and comprises the following steps: obtaining a
cell nucleus image sample, and marking a
cell nucleus position by using a center point
annotation; designing a
wavelet difference
convolution module, extracting multi-scale features through
discrete wavelet transform, and combining the difference
convolution module to enhance
cell nucleus boundaries and detail information; constructing a region expansion module, generating a pseudo
label based on point
annotation iteration, gradually expanding a complete
cell nucleus region, and reducing
noise and nucleus missing detection problems; building a segmentation network, adding the
wavelet difference convolution module to extract detail features, and using the pseudo
label as a weakly supervised
signal to optimize
network performance; performing segmentation prediction, and outputting accurate positions and shapes of cell nuclei; thereby realizing high-precision segmentation under a small amount of
annotation information, reducing annotation dependence, and achieving remarkable effects in reducing adhesion of adjacent
cell nucleus boundaries and missing detection of
small cell nuclei.
