摘要： Muscle fiber properties exert a significant influence on pork quality, with cross-sectional area (CSA) being a crucial parameter closely associated with various meat quality indicators, such as shear force. Effectively identifying and segmenting muscle fibers in a robust manner constitutes a vital initial step in determining CSA. This step is highly intricate and time-consuming, necessitating an accurate and automated analytical approach. One limitation of existing methods is their tendency to perform well on high signal-to-noise ratio images of intact, healthy muscle fibers but their lack of validation on more complex image datasets featuring significant morphological changes, such as the presence of ice crystals. In this study, we undertake the fully automatic segmentation of muscle fiber microscopic images stained with myosin adenosine triphosphate (mATPase) activity using a deep learning architecture known as SOLOv2. Our objective is to efficiently derive accurate measurements of muscle fiber size and distribution. Tests conducted on actual images demonstrate that our method adeptly handles the intricate task of muscle fiber segmentation, yielding quantitative results amenable to statistical analysis and displaying reliability comparable to manual analysis.
