TABLE 5.
Comparisons of the time consumed by the two methods
| Structure | Operation | Manual operation | CNN (1 trial) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cytoplasm | Number of images | 1218 | 1218 |
| Average time/image | 200s | 0.01s | |
| Total time | 243,600s | 12.18s | |
| PN | Number of images | 682 | 682 |
| Average time/image | 150s | 0.01s | |
| Total time | 102,300s | 6.82s | |
| ZP | Number of images | 408 | 408 |
| Average time/image | 300s | 0.01s | |
| Total time | 122,400s | 4.08s | |
| Elapsed time of the labelling/segmentation | 468,300s | 12.18s a |
We recorded the numbers of images and average time consumed of both of the manual labelling and CNN segmentation in different structures. The labelling of the three structures (in total 2308 images) was conducted one by one, while the CNN segmentation was conducted parallelly, which could obtain the results of three structures at a short time.
a
Segmented images of the three structures were produced parallelly.
