Authors Jeremias J, Pape C Journal Methods in Microscopy Citation Methods in Microscopy, 2025. Abstract Counting objects is an important task in biomedical image analysis, for example to count cells in microscopy or microbial colonies in laboratory applications. Similar to most image analysis tasks, modern approaches to counting rely on
