Accession number BBBC031 · Version 1 Example images Description of the biological application We generated a synthetic HCS dataset simulating drugs perturbing the cell shape and the expressions of proteins (here represented by different colours). The dataset is useful for testing classification and...

We welcome contributions of the following: Image sets with descriptions and ground truth High-throughput image sets Published benchmarking results of algorithms applied to the BBBC image sets Corrections to existing descriptions or ground truth Feedback on the benchmarking methodology or other...

Accession number BBBC040 · Version 1 Example images Biological application An ideal small-molecule screening library would be enriched in non-redundant bioactive compounds that maximize the performance diversity of the library. The construction of such libraries would be aided by a rapid feedback...

Accession number BBBC050 · Version 2 Example images Biological application Cell dynamics during the early mouse embryogenesis change spatiotemporally. For understanding the mechanism of this developmental process, imaging cell dynamics by live-cell imaging of fluorescently labeled nuclei and...

To reasonably compare, or benchmark, algorithms for image analysis, researchers must agree on a common reference point—the image set's "correct" answer—and see how closely each algorithm matches it. We adopt the common term ground truth for this reference point even though it may be questionable in...

Accession number BBBC002 · Version 1 Example image Biological application Five different samples of Drosophila melanogaster Kc167 cells were stained with Hoechst 33342, a DNA stain. The last sample (labeled nodsRNA) is of wild-type cells. Each of the other four samples (labeled 48, 340, Anillin, and...

Accession number BBBC006 · Version 1 Example images Ground truth: in focus Out of focus Ground truth: foreground Biological application Since robust foreground/background separation and segmentation of cellular objects (i.e., identification of which pixels below to which objects) strongly depends on...

Accession number BBBC019 · Version 2 Example images DIC image Ground truth DIC image Ground truth Biological application The wound-healing assay is considered the gold standard for studying cell motility and migration. The assay is performed by time-lapse imaging (usually by phase contrast, or...

Accession number BBBC024 · Version 1 Example images 3D image 3D foreground Biological application One of the principal challenges in counting or segmenting nuclei is dealing with clustered nuclei. To help assess algorithms' performance in this regard, this synthetic image set consists of four...
