摘要

Cell counting in microscopy images plays a crucial role in biomedical research and diagnostics. This paper introduces an enhanced deep learning approach for cell counting using Fully Convolutional Regression Networks (FCRN) and U-net architectures, augmented with residual concatenation connections incorporating Neural Arithmetic Logic Units (NALU) and Neural Accumulator (NAC) modules. These numerically biased units provide improved generalization, particularly in high-density cell images. The methodology is validated on synthetic datasets and modified BBBC005 benchmark datasets, showing significant improvements in both interpolation and extrapolation tasks. The proposed models demonstrate superior accuracy and robustness compared to baseline architectures, offering a more effective solution for real-world applications.
