Title
Learning to count biological structures with raters’ uncertainty
Abstract
•Counting cells in microscopy images is a crucial step to diagnose many diseases.•Non-trivial patterns induce weak labels in annotation procedures, even with experts.•A two-stage cell counting method for weakly-labeled data settings is proposed.•We localize and score objects to correlate prediction scores and raters’ agreements.Our method achieves lower counting errors across multiple ground-truth settings.
