FIGURE 10 Application of pipeline for other insect species. The brain textures of various insect species can be very similar to those of ants, facilitating the prediction by the network even without pretraining on specific insect brain scans. (a) Raw image of wasp head (original 1000 × 1000 px) and (b) its prediction without postprocessing (original 520 × 520 px), indicating satisfactory identification of the borders of the brain area. (c) 2D image of praying mantis head (520 × 520 px) and (d) the prediction of its brain area without postprocessing. Even though the network overpredicts some small pixel islands, it excludes from its prediction areas of the muscles, fibers, and cuticle.
