SELMA3D cell nuclei of the human brain, light-sheet microscopy

A 200 x 200 x 200 voxel patch of a light-sheet volume of cleared human brain tissue, its cell nuclei drawn by experts (SELMA3D 2024).

Read before comparing (6)
  • Truth. One binary mask a patch, the cell nuclei drawn by hand; separate cell nuclei that touch are one region, and no instance is scored.
  • Ranked apart. Tiles of human brain tissue, from one donor or a few (the deposit's sample names a donor, its protocol brains of human males): the test patches are separate tiles, none touching another, but not independent subjects.
  • Units. The headers give no voxel size, so distances are in voxels and the surface tolerance is one voxel. The deposit gives the acquisition at 0.54 x 0.54 x 5 µm without saying whether the patches keep it.
  • Contact. Across the split the best face correlation is 0.38 and the best overlap of 1 to 15 slices 0.14, where patch_007 and patch_008 score 0.93; no two test patches touch (best face correlation 0.28).
  • Start. The whole patch named nucleus scores a median Dice of 0.04 on the test patches, its bright voxels (Otsu) 0.42 (0.29 to 0.71).
  • Public. These are SELMA3D's public annotated training patches: a network trained on them has seen the test cases.

No method has a result on every case of this dataset yet.

About the data

Test cases
The deposit's gzip headers keep each patch's tile number (1485 to 11083). Tiles 5661 and 5662 (patch_007 and 008) are neighbours that overlap by about five slices: they are the 2 development patches, and the 10 others the test patches.
Truth
contours by experts the deposit's pixel-wise masks of the cell nuclei, drawn in 3D in virtual reality by four expert annotators, then verified by an expert and reviewed by two organisers; the corpus makes every nonzero value 1
