New method cuts cell segmentation clicks from thousands to one per type

Researchers have developed a new method called Chain-of-Prompts (CoP) for cell instance segmentation, significantly reducing the annotation effort required. This training-free framework leverages foundation models like SAM by requiring only a single click per cell type, rather than individual clicks for each instance. CoP effectively segments all instances of a given type by exploiting the natural clustering within the foundation model's image encoder, achieving over 90% of per-instance performance with minimal annotation cost.

    One Click per Cell Type Suffices: Training-free Group Interaction for Cell Instance Segmentation

    Group Prompting enables efficient cell instance segmentation by leveraging per-type prompting through a training-free framework that uses multi-scale encoder features and recursive prompt expansion.
