Cell segmentation

Neurolucida is a powerful tool for creating and analyzing realistic, meaningful, and quantifiable neuron reconstructions from microscope images. Perform detailed morphometric analysis of neurons, such as quantifying 1) the number of dendrites, axons, nodes, synapses, and spines, 2) the length, width, and volume of dendrites and axons, 3) the area and volume of the soma, and 4) the complexity and extension of neurons.

SLDC is an open-source Python workflow. SLDC stands for Segment Locate Dispatch Classify. This framework aims at facilitating the development of algorithms for detecting objects in multi-gigapixel images. Particularly, it provides algorithm developers with a structure to define problem-dependent components of their processing workflow (i.e. segmentation and classification) in a concise way. Every other concern such as parallelization and large image handling are encapsulated by the framework. It also features a powerful and customizable logging system and some components to apply several workflows one after another on a same image. SLDC can work on local images or interact with Cytomine

MorphoLibJ is a library of plugin for ImageJ with functionalities for image processing such as filtering, reconstructing, segmenting, etc... Tools are based on Mathematical morphology with more rigorous mathematical approach than in the standard tools of ImageJ in particular for surface (or perimeter) measurements which are usually based on voxel counting.

LocAlization Microscopy Analyzer (LAMA) is a software tool that contains several well-established data post processing algorithms for single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data. LAMA has implemented algorithms for cluster analysis, colocalization analysis, localization precision estimation and image registration. LAMA works with a graphical user interface (GUI), and accepts simple input data formats as supported by various single- molecule localization software tools.

Localization-based super-resolution techniques open the door to unprecedented analysis of molecular organization. This task often involves complex image processing adapted to the specific topology and quality of the image to be analyzed. SR-Tesseler is an open-source segmentation software using Voronoï tessellation constructed from the coordinates of localized molecules. It allows precise, robust and automatic quantification of protein organization at different scales, from the cellular level down to clusters of a few fluorescent markers. SR-Tesseler is insensitive to cell shape, molecular organization, background and noise, allowing comparing efficiently different biological conditions in a non-biased manner, and perform quantifications on various proteins and cell types. SR-Tesseler software comes with a very simple and intuitive graphical user interface, providing direct visual feedback of the results and is freely available under GPLv3 license.
