Popis: We use deep learning methods to predict human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) formation using time-lapse brightfield microscopy images taken from a cell identified as the beginning of entered into the reprogramming process. A U-net is used to segment cells and a CNN is used to classify the segmented cells into eight types of cells during the reprogramming and hiPSC formation based on cellular morphology on the microscopy images. The numbers of respective types of cells in cell clusters before the hiPSC formation stage are used to predict if hiPSC regions can be well formed lately. Experimental results show good prediction by the criteria using the numbers of different cells in the clusters. Time-series images with respective types of classified cells can be used to visualize and quantitatively analyze the growth and transition among dispersed cells not in cell clusters, various types of cells in the clusters before the hiPSC formation stage and hiPSC cells.
