Cell-ACDC: Analysis of Cell Division Cycle

Authors: Francesco Padovani, Benedikt Mairhörmann, Pascal Falter-Braun, Jette Lengefeld, Kurt M. Schmoller

A GUI-based Python framework for segmentation, tracking, cell cycle annotations and quantification of microscopy data.
 
Let's face it, when dealing with segmentation of microscopy data we often do not have time to check that everything is correct, because it is a tedious and very time consuming process. Cell-ACDC comes to the rescue! We combined the currently best available neural network models (such as Segment Anything Model (SAM), YeaZ, cellpose, StarDist, YeastMate, omnipose, delta, DeepSea, etc.) and we complemented them with a fast and intuitive GUI.
 
We developed and implemented several smart functionalities such as real-time continuous tracking, automatic propagation of error correction, and several tools to facilitate manual correction, from simple yet useful brush and eraser to more complex flood fill (magic wand) and Random Walker segmentation routines.
