"TRANSFORMER-BASED DETECTION OF MICROORGANISMS ON HIGH-RESOLUTION PETRI DISH IMAGES"

( MPI-SWS talk in Kooperation mit dem Fachbereich Informatik)

Many medical or pharmaceutical processes have strict guidelines regarding continuous hygiene monitoring. This often involves the labor-intensive task of manually counting microorganisms in Petri dishes by trained personnel. Automation attempts often struggle due to major challenges: significant scaling differences, low separation, low contrast, etc. To overcome these challenges, we introduce our PLG-ViT backbone in combination with our AttnPAFPN and a state-of-the-art object detector, resulting in a high-resolution detection pipeline that leverages our novel transformer variants. Our streamlined approach can be easily integrated into almost any multiscale object detection pipeline, e.g., Faster-RCNN and Tood. In extensive evaluations on various publicly available datasets, we demonstrate the superior accuracy of our network over the current state-of-the-art.
