NiftyNet is a TensorFlow-based open-source convolutional neural networks (CNNs) platform for research in medical image analysis and image-guided therapy. NiftyNet’s modular structure is designed for sharing networks and pre-trained models. Using this modular structure you can:

• Get started with established pre-trained networks using built-in tools;
• Adapt existing networks to your imaging data;
• Quickly build new solutions to your own image analysis problems.

Orbit Image Analysis is a free open source software with the focus to quantify big images like whole slide scans.

It can connect to image servers, e.g. Omero.
Analysis can be done on your local computer or via scaleout functionality in a distrubuted computing environment like a Spark cluster.

Sophisticated image analysis algorithms incl. tissue quantification using machine learning, object segmentation and classification are build in. In addition a versatile API allows you to enhance Orbit and to run your own scripts.

HyphaTracker propose a workflow for time-resolved analysis of conidia germination. Each part of this workflow can also be used independnatly , as a toolbox. It has been tested on bright-field microscopic images of conidial germination. Its purpose is mainly to identify the germlings and to remove crossing hyphae, and measure the dynamics of their growth.

Computer-assisted Evaluation of Myelin formation (CEM) is a collection designed to automate myelin quantification. It requires use input to choose the best threshold values. The myelin is calculated as an overlap between neuronal signal and oligodendrocyte signal. Results are given as pixel counts and percents.

CEM runs as an imageJ plugin with an optional Matlab extension to remove cell bodies. More details are published at Kerman et al. 2015 Development. Supplemental Material includes a detailed user manual and the download link.
