CRIC - Center for Recognition and Inspection of Cells

Our team is dedicated to research and development of software tools and organized cell image catalogues through automated cell morphometry and recognition using machine learning. Recent work show advancements on cervical cell analysis of images from SUS (Brazilian Universal Health System), and human brain tissue and cells from Memory and Aging Center at UCSF. Together, we have built analytical and data-driven models using image collections and metadata provided by our collaborators.

Experimental and simulation data allied to high-end computational capabilities for real-time feedback.

Saliency methods and deep learning including public datasets for reproducible research.

Cell database contains digital pictures from conventional Pap smears digitized and classified by UFOP-AMBAR.

Deep learning in cell detection and ranking as in Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics journal (02/2019)

Cell analysis tools for detection, morphometry and classification using biomedical information.
