DP2: Distributed 3D image segmentation using micro-labor workforce.


ABSTRACT:

Summary

This application note describes a new scalable semi-automatic approach, the Dual Point Decision Process, for segmentation of 3D structures contained in 3D microscopy. The segmentation problem is distributed to many individual workers such that each receives only simple questions regarding whether two points in an image are placed on the same object. A large pool of micro-labor workers available through Amazon's Mechanical Turk system provides the labor in a scalable manner.

Availability and implementation

Python-based code for non-commercial use and test data are available in the source archive at https://sites.google.com/site/imagecrowdseg/.
