Segmenting subcellular structures in living cells from fluorescence microscope images is a ground truth (GT)-deficient problem.
The microscopes’ three-dimensional blurring function, finite optical resolution due to light diffraction, finite pixel resolution
and the complex morphological manifestations of the structures all contribute to GT-hardness. Unsupervised segmentation
approaches are quite inaccurate. Therefore, manual segmentation relying on heuristics and experience remains the preferred
approach. However, this process is tedious, given the countless structures present inside a single cell, and generating analytics
across a large population of cells or performing advanced artificial intelligence tasks such as tracking are greatly limited. Here
we bring modelling and deep learning to a nexus for solving this GT-hard problem, improving both the accuracy and speed of
subcellular segmentation. We introduce a simulation-supervision approach empowered by physics-based GT, which presents
two advantages. First, the physics-based GT resolves the GT-hardness. Second, computational modelling of all the relevant
physical aspects assists the deep learning models in learning to compensate, to a great extent, for the limitations of physics and
the instrument. We show extensive results on the segmentation of small vesicles and mitochondria in diverse and independent
living- and fixed-cell datasets. We demonstrate the adaptability of the approach across diverse microscopes through transfer
learning, and illustrate biologically relevant applications of automated analytics and motion analysis.
