Figure 3. Semi-automatic detection of amyloplasts in a TEM image of Arabidopsis thaliana root tip tissue.

Figure 3

(A) TEM image used to detect amyloplasts (inset). Image resolution: 2000 × 2000 pixels. (B) Result of semi-automatic detection. Green rectangles show ‘true' amyloplasts, which were confirmed by visual inspection; red boxed regions show semi-automatically detected windows. (C, D) Relationship between detection area and true (C) or false (D) positive detection rates with random selection of randomly-located windows (filled circles) and proposed methods (open circles). Data are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. (E) Relationship between true and false positive detection rates with random selection of randomly-located windows (filled circles) and proposed methods (open circles). Data are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. (F) Comparison of true positive detection rates. Mean number of false positive windows was 14.3 (random detection) (N = 6) and 5.00 (proposed method) (N = 6). Data are mean ± SD. Significance was determined using Mann–Whitney's U-test (p-value, *<0.003).
