RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 DeepImageJ: A user-friendly environment to run deep learning models in ImageJ JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 799270 DO 10.1101/799270 A1 Estibaliz Gómez-de-Mariscal A1 Carlos García-López-de-Haro A1 Wei Ouyang A1 Laurène Donati A1 Emma Lundberg A1 Michael Unser A1 Arrate Muñoz-Barrutia A1 Daniel Sage YR 2021 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2021/05/06/799270.abstract AB DeepImageJ is a user-friendly solution that enables the generic use of pre-trained deep learn ing (DL) models for biomedical image analysis in ImageJ. The deepImageJ environment gives access to the largest bioimage repository of pre-trained DL models (BioImage Model Zoo). Hence, non-experts can easily perform common image processing tasks in life-science research with DL-based tools including pixel and object classification, instance segmentation, denoising or virtual staining. DeepImageJ is compatible with existing state-of-the-art solutions and it is equipped with utility tools for developers to include new models. Very recently, several train ing frameworks have adopted the deepImageJ format to deploy their work in one of the most used software in the field (ImageJ). Beyond its direct use, we expect deepImageJ to contribute to the broader dissemination and reuse of DL models in life-sciences applications and bioimage informatics.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
