This repository includes a StarDist deep learning model and its training and validation datasets for detecting neutrophils perfused over an endothelial cell monolayer. The model was trained on 36 manually annotated images, achieving an average F1 Score of 0.969. The dataset and model are intended for use in biomedical research, particularly for analyzing interactions between neutrophils and endothelial cells.
