Microscopic Image Analysis

Full-color three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a powerful process to manufacture intelligent customized colorful objects with improved surface qualities; however, poor surface color optimization methods are the main impeding factors for its commercialization. As such, the paper explored the correlation between microstructure and color reproduction, then an assessment and prediction method of color optimization based on microscopic image analysis was proposed. The experimental models were divided into 24-color plates and 4-color cubes printed by ProJet 860 3D printer, then impregnated according to preset parameters, at last measured by a spectrophotometer and observed using both a digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results revealed that the samples manifested higher saturation and smaller chromatic aberration ([Formula: see text]) after postprocessing. Moreover, the brightness of the same color surface increased with the increasing soaked surface roughness. Further, reduction in surface roughness, impregnation into surface pores, and enhancement of coating transparency effectively improved the accuracy of color reproduction, which could be verified by the measured values. Finally, the chromatic aberration caused by positioning errors on different faces of the samples was optimized, and the value of [Formula: see text] for a black cube was reduced from 8.12 to 0.82, which is undetectable to human eyes.

Microscopic Image Analysis

Zebrafish eggs are widely used in biological experiments to study the environmental and genetic influence on embryo development. Due to the high throughput of microscopic imaging, automated analysis of zebrafish egg microscopic images is highly demanded. However, machine learning algorithms for zebrafish egg image analysis suffer from the problems of small imbalanced training dataset and subtle inter-class differences. In this study, we developed an automated zebrafish egg microscopic image analysis algorithm based on deep convolutional neural network (CNN). To tackle the problem of insufficient training data, the strategies of transfer learning and data augmentation were used. We also adopted the global averaged pooling technique to overcome the subtle phenotype differences between the fertilized and unfertilized eggs. Experimental results of a five-fold cross-validation test showed that the proposed method yielded a mean classification accuracy of 95.0% and a maximum accuracy of 98.8%. The network also demonstrated higher classification accuracy and better convergence performance than conventional CNN methods. This study extends the deep learning technique to zebrafish egg phenotype classification and paves the way for automatic bright-field microscopic image analysis.
