Evaluation metrics on cell counting and segmentation achieved by ACDC (with and without bilateral filtering) on the analyzed time-lapse microscopy VU and 2018 DSB datasets, comprising 46 and 301 images, respectively. The results for the DSC and IoU metrics, as well as the execution time measurements, are expressed as mean value ± standard deviation.

Method	Dataset	Pearson Coeff. (p-Value)	DSC (%)	IoU (%)	Exec. Time (s)
ACDC (without bilateral filter)	VU	ρ = 0.99 (p = 2.5 × 10−74)	75.86 ± 5.98	61.45 ± 7.47	3.98 ± 0.10
ACDC (with bilateral filter)	VU	ρ = 0.99 (p = 6.6 × 10−74)	76.84 ± 6.71	62.84 ± 8.58	7.49 ± 0.30
ACDC (without bilateral filter)	DSB	ρ = 0.96 (p = 1.1 × 10−175)	87.34 ± 6.89	77.97 ± 9.49	0.07 ± 0.05
ACDC (with bilateral filter)	DSB	ρ = 0.96 (p = 2.6 × 10−169)	88.64 ± 7.41	80.37 ± 10.58	0.12 ± 0.09
