Fast4DReg is a Fiji macro for drift correction for 2D and 3D video and is able to correct drift in all x-, y- and/or z-directions. Fast4DReg creates intensity projections along both axes and estimates their drift using cross-correlation based drift correction, and then translates the video frame by frame. Additionally, Fast4DReg can be used for alignment multi-channel 2D or 3D images which is particularly useful for instruments that suffer from a misalignment of channels.

DeXtrusion is a machine learning based python pipeline to detect cell extrusions in epithelial tissues movies. It can also detect cell divisions and SOPs, and can easily be trained to detect other dynamic events.

DeXtrusion takes as input a movie of an epithelium and outputs the spatio-temporal location of cell extrusion events or other event as cell divisions. The movie is discretized into small overlapping rolling windows which are individually classified for event detection by a trained neural network. Results are then put together in event probability map for the whole movie or as spatio-temporal points indicating each event.

BIIGLE is a web-based software for image and video annotation that enables collaborative research on large datasets. It offers tools for manual and computer-assisted annotation, quality control and the collaboration on custom taxonomies to describe objects. BIIGLE is freely available and can be installed in cloud environments, a local network or on mobile platforms during research expeditions. The public instance on biigle.de is free for non-commercial use.

TissUUmaps is a browser-based tool for fast visualization and exploration of millions of data points overlaying a tissue sample. TissUUmaps can be used as a web service or locally in your computer, and allows users to share regions of interest and local statistics.

MATLAB app to characterize nanoparticles imaged with super-resolution microscopy. nanoFeatures will read text and csv files from the NIKON and ONI microscopes and from the ThunderSTORM Fiji plugin, then cluster the localizations and filter by size and sphericity and finally output nanoparticle features like size, aspect ratio, and number of localizations per cluster (total and for each channel).
