Researchers have developed a deep learning system to automate plaque counting and virus titration from laboratory images. The system uses two models derived from the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to segment wells and then detect and count plaques within them. Evaluated on various virus datasets and plate formats, the workflow demonstrated strong agreement with manual annotations and expert assessments, promising to reduce manual effort and improve reproducibility in virus analysis.
