TABLE I.
Evaluation of nucleus detection on different datasets in terms of precision (P), recall (R) and F1 score (%). and denote the source and target domains, respectively. The first, second, third and forth panels represent the proposed method’s variants, proposed UDA methods, proposed SSDA methods with 5% gold-standard annotations available in each target dataset, and the target-only models respectively, for different radii (i.e., r = 16 and 8) used to define gold-standard regions.
