DECODE

Gateway Test Unit Tests Docs

DECODE is a Python and Pytorch based deep learning tool for single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). It has high accuracy for a large range of imaging modalities and conditions. On the public SMLM 2016 software benchmark competition, it outperformed all other fitters on 12 out of 12 data-sets on both detection accuracy and localization error, often by a substantial margin. DECODE enables live-cell SMLM data with reduced light exposure in just 3 seconds and to image microtubules at ultra-high labeling density.

DECODE works by training a DEep COntext DEpendent (DECODE) neural network to detect and localize emitters at sub-pixel resolution. Notably, DECODE also predicts detection and localization uncertainties, which can be used to generate superior super-resolution reconstructions.

Getting started

The easiest way to try out the algorithm is to have a look at the Google Colab Notebooks. We provide them for training our algorithm and fitting experimental data. For installation instructions and further information please refer to our docs. You can find these here:

  • Documentation
  • DECODE Training (NEW: v0.10) Open In Colab
  • DECODE Fitting (NEW: v0.10) Open In Colab

Local Installation

Details about the installation can be found in the documentation.

DECODE cloud

Please reach out to Lucas (lrm@lrm.dev) if you want to use DECODE, but you do not have the right hardware, or want to use it at a larger scale.

Video Tutorial

As part of the virtual I2K 2020 conference we organized a workshop on DECODE. Please find the video below. DECODE is being actively developed, therefore the exact commands might differ from those shown in the video.
