Fluorescence microscopy imaging speed is fundamentally limited by the measurement signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To improve image SNR for a given image acquisition rate, computational denoising techniques can be used to suppress noise. However, analytical techniques to estimate a denoised image from a single frame are either computationally expensive or rely on simple noise statistical models. These models assume Poisson or Gaussian noise statistics, which are not appropriate for many fluorescence microscopy applications that contain quantum shot noise and electronic Johnson-Nyquist noise, and therefore a mixture of Poisson and Gaussian noise. In this paper, we show convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on mixed Poisson and Gaussian noise images to overcome the limitations of existing image denoising methods. The trained CNN is presented as an open-source ImageJ plugin that performs instant image denoising (within tens of milliseconds) with superior performance (~8.1 dB SNR improvement) compared to the conventional fluorescence microscopy denoising methods. The method is validated on external datasets with out-of-distribution noise and contrast from the training data and consistently achieves high performance (>8dB) denoising in less time than other fluorescence microscopy denoising methods.

AbstractCo-localization analysis is a popular method for quantitative analysis in fluorescence microscopy imaging. The localization of marked proteins in the cell nucleus allows a deep insight into biological processes in the nucleus. Several metrics have been developed for measuring the co-localization of two markers, however, they depend on subjective thresholding of background and the assumption of linearity. We propose a robust method to estimate the bivariate distribution function of two color channels. From this, we can quantify their co- or anti-colocalization. The proposed method is a combination of the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) and a Gaussian Copula, which we call the Maximum Entropy Copula (MEC). This new method can measure the spatial and nonlinear correlation of signals to determine the marker colocalization in fluorescence microscopy images. The proposed method is compared with MEM for bivariate probability distributions. The new colocalization metric is validated on simulated and real data. The results show that MEC can determine co- and anti-colocalization even in high background settings. MEC can, therefore, be used as a robust tool for colocalization analysis.

A new data-aided algorithm for parameter estimation of the co-channel AIS signal transmitted over the additive white Gaussian noise channel is proposed in this paper. The co-channel signal consists of a strong signal with high power and a weak signal with low power. The parameters of the strong signal are estimated by searching the ambiguity function of the co-channel signal in two dimensions. A reference signal is therefore reconstructed with the estimated parameters and the aided data. By removing the ambiguity function of the reconstructed reference signal from that of the original co-channel signal, a new co-channel signal ambiguity function is obtained, from which the parameters of the weak signal are estimated. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can estimate the parameters of the co-channel AIS signal effectively.
