Accurate cell segmentation from phase images is crucial forlong-term quantitative analysis. However, complicated cellular states(e.g., cell adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis) and imagingconditions (e.g., noise and magnification) pose significantchallenge to the accuracy of cell segmentation. Here, we introduceDL-CSPF, a deep-learning-based cell segmentation method with aphysical framework designed for high-precision live-cell analysis.DL-CSPF utilizes two neural networks for foreground-backgroundsegmentation and cell detection, generating foreground edges and “seedpoints.” These features serve as input for a marker-controlledwatershed algorithm to segment cells. By focusing on foreground edgesand “seed points”, which have lower information entropy than completecell contours, DL-CSPF achieves accurate segmentation with a reduceddataset and without manual parameter tuning. We validated thefeasibility and generalization of DL-CSPF using various open-sourceand DHM-collected datasets, including HeLa, pollen, and COS-7 cells.Long-term live-cell imaging results further demonstrate that DL-CSPFreliably characterized and quantitatively analyzed the morphologicalmetrics across the cellular lifecycle, rendering it a promising toolfor biomedical research.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2155-3165}, pages = {B20-B30}, orcid-numbers = {Lu, Linpeng/0000-0001-9102-2368; Shen, Qian/0000-0002-6826-805X; Sun, Jiasong/0000-0002-1936-1645; Chen, Qian/0000-0002-1909-302X; Zuo, Chao/0000-0002-1461-0032} }
