Scalable Detection of Fossil Palynomorphs in Multifocal Digital Microscopy Images

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Palynomorphs (microscopic, organic-walled fossils such as pollen, spores, and dinoflagellates) are important high-resolution records of past climates and are critical to the study of ancient ecosystems. Existing methods rely on manual analysis of high-resolution, multifocal digital microscopy images, which is slow and time-consuming and requires researchers to compromise on the scale of their investigations. To the best of our knowledge, our work proposes the first ever scalable end-to-end pipeline for automated palynomorph detection in whole slide images that addresses this bottleneck through
