Fig. 5.

ColorAE, U-Net, and ensemble predictions. All panels show predictions from the same cell class from the same input image. Top panel: a-c ColorAE and U-Net predictions are shown for a single cell class are shown individually and overlaid. Bottom panel, ensemble methods: d Union includes predictions from both ColorAE (red) and U-NET (blue): any overlapping predictions (detected by both algorithms) are merged into a single mask (purple). e Intersection includes the pixels detected by both algorithms, while excluding any areas of the mask detected by only one algorithm. f UnionanchorAE includes all masks detected by ColorAE and U-Net masks that intersect a ColorAE mask (union) while excluding U-Net masks that do not intersect a ColorAE mask (only detected by the U-Net). g UnionanchorUNet includes all masks detected by U-Net and ColorAE masks that intersect a U-Net mask (union) while excluding ColorAE masks that do not intersect a U-Net mask (only detected by the ColorAE)
