Fuse My Cells: France-BioImaging’s 2nd Challenge opens on January 31


Published January 23, 2025

Hey, deep learning experts! Show off your 3D image-to-image fusion skills using deep learning by entering France-BioImaging‘s Fuse My Cells challenge. 

The main objective of the Fuse My Cells challenge is to predict a fused 3D image using only one or two available 3D views, providing a practical solution to the limitations of current microscopy techniques, such as improving image quality, extending the duration of live imaging, saving on the photon budget, and facilitating image analysis.

How to participate?

The competition is divided in two phases:

  • Test phase (on three 3D images) to familiarize with the algorithm submission procedure, with the possibility to have five submissions (not taken into account in the final ranking)
  • Evaluation phase (on thirsty 3D images) with a single submission to obtain the final ranking. Algorithms must be tested in the Test phase and will not be tested in this phase.

You have until the end of the first phase, on February 28, 2025, to register and participate at this Fuse My Cells challenge. Nonetheless, you can start working on your preliminary algorithm and tests on January 31st, 2025 (with the release of the training database)!

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 winners:

For top 3 winners:

  • Award certificate
  • A challenge paper will be written with the organizing team’s members for submission to journals
  • Invitation to publish their methods in the proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging 2025s
  • Support and integration of open source code into open science image processing and analysis software (e.g. BioImage Model Zoo, Napari)
