GangCaoLab/FISH_spots

FISH_spots Dataset

The manually verified in situ hybridization fluorescence images and point coordinate dataset. This dataset contains images and annotations for the task of single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) spot detection, supporting 2D, 3D, and simulated noisy data. The structure is designed for deep learning model development, training, and evaluation.

Data Content and Annotation Format

• —image directory Contains 512×512 image patches used for training. The images are ready for use by deep learning models, in standard formats such as PNG or TIFF.

• —csv directory Stores CSV files containing annotated spot positions for each corresponding image patch. Each row records the coordinates and other metadata of detected or simulated spots.

• —*meta.csv** meta.csv, provide global metadata.

2D Dataset

• —Includes data used in the U-FISH publication, comprising both real experimental data and simulated data.
• —Covers 7 different experimental sources, providing diversity (real and simulated conditions).
• —Contains over 4,000 images and 160,000 annotated spot positions.
• —Suitable for benchmarking model generalization and spot detection in varied scenarios.

3D Dataset

• —Mainly generated via simulation, representing spot distributions under 3D imaging conditions.
• —Provides 3D image patches and coordinate-based annotations.
• —Includes meta_test.csv and meta_valid.csv for easy split management.

Noise Dataset

• —Contains simulated noisy images aimed at testing model robustness to noise.
• —Structure mirrors the 3D dataset, with patches, annotations, and metadata files.
