Snapshots from real video data of a cell undergoing patch clamping demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed pipette removal method (via inpainting). The pipette mask is outlined in red while the cell segmentation is outlined in blue. Each snapshot illustrated varying degrees of overlap between the pipette and the cell: (a) the pipette is far from the cell, (b) the pipette is in close proximity to the cell, and (c) the pipette is “touching” the cell. The efficacy of the proposed inpainting method for pipette removal (versus no inpainting) is qualitatively demonstrated by its ability to cleanly segment the cell despite the pipette’s presence.
