Microtubule Detection and Instance Segmentation using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Microtubules are long cylindrical polymers, assembled from tubulin proteins. Microtubule ends can be visualized using fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This allows for the study of microtubule dynamics. However, the manual annotation of microtubules is laborious, which is why automated tracking methods are used. In this project we have...
