# Cell Segmentation Masks Dataset

This repository contains NumPy mask files generated using AutoSeg-SAM2 for cell segmentation experiments.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized by experiment type and image number:

```
{experiment_type}/
  └── image_{number}/
      └── cached_masks.npy
```

## Experiments Included

### Cdx2_Gata6_Oct4

Images: image_2, image_3, image_4

### Sox2_Sox17

Images: image_1, image_2, image_3

## Usage

To load the NumPy mask files:

```python
import numpy as np

# Example for loading a mask file
masks = np.load('Cdx2_Gata6_Oct4/image_1/cached_masks.npy', allow_pickle=True)
```

## File Format

Each `.npy` file contains cell segmentation masks generated using AutoSeg-SAM2, a modification of the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) for automated cell segmentation.
