Claim 18:
19. The neural network-implemented method of claim 14, further including:
thresholding output values of units and classifying a first subset of the units as background units depicting the surrounding background;
locating peaks in the output values of the units and classifying a second subset of the units as center units containing centers of the analytes; and
applying a segmenter to the output values of the units and determining shapes of the analytes as non-overlapping regions of contiguous units separated by the background units and centered at the center units, wherein the segmenter begins with the center units and determines, for each center unit, a group of successively contiguous units that depict a same analyte whose center is contained in a center unit.
