While spatial proteomics by fluorescence imaging has quickly become an essential discovery tool for researchers, fast and scalable methods to classify and embed single-cell protein distributions in such images are lacking. Here, we present the design and analysis of the results from the competition Human Protein Atlas - Single-Cell Classification hosted on the Kaggle platform. This represents a crowd-sourced competition to develop machine learning models trained on limited annotations to label single-cell protein patterns in fluorescent images.

Removing the influence of illumination on image colors and adjusting the brightness across the scene are important image enhancement problems. This is achieved by applying adequate color constancy and brightness adjustment methods. One of the earliest models to deal with both of these problems was the Retinex theory.
