Abstract
Since the analysis of erythrocytes and spirochaetes is highly relevant to human health, their automated detection is of significant importance in both medical and computer vision research. However, publicly available datasets in this domain remain scarce. To address this gap, we present the Darkfield Microscopy Image Dataset for Erythrocytes and Spirochaete Detection (DMID-ESD), which consists of 11,794 fully annotated images with labels containing categorical and localization information. We perform comprehensive benchmarking experiments on DMID-ESD to evaluate its utility in tasks such as image classification, object detection, and feature extraction. The results demonstrate that the dataset serves as an effective benchmark for method evaluation. The DMID-ESD dataset is freely available for non-commercial use at: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/DMID-ESD_zip/22179311.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Signal Processing and Control aims to provide a cross-disciplinary international forum for the interchange of information on research in the measurement and analysis of signals and images in clinical medicine and the biological sciences. Emphasis is placed on contributions dealing with the practical, applications-led research on the use of methods and devices in clinical diagnosis, patient monitoring and management.
Biomedical Signal Processing and Control reflects the main areas in which these methods are being used and developed at the interface of both engineering and clinical science. The scope of the journal is defined to include relevant review papers, technical notes, short communications and letters. Tutorial papers and special issues will also be published.
