Component

This is the ImageJ/Fiji plugin for StarDist, a cell/nuclei detection method for microscopy images with star-convex shape priors ( typically for Dapi like staining of nuclei). The plugin can be used to apply already trained models to new images.

Summary

Deep learning-based segmentation of cells, both fluorescence, and bright-field images ("a generalist algorithm for cellular segmentation"). The tool can be used either online or local or via notebooks (e.g. ZeroCostDL4Mic).

How to use it

cellpose can be used online via ready-to-use Jyupyter notebooks with very good documentation. These notebooks are listed here.

Local Installation

The general local installation procedure can be found here.

... Installing to Silicon Mac (M1 processor) needs some tricks, and as of October 2021, the following sequence of commands works. numba should be conda-installed before pip-installing the cellpose.

conda create --name cellpose python=3.8
conda activate cellpose
conda install numba
git clone https://github.com/MouseLand/cellpose.git
cd cellpose
pip install -e .

DeepImageJ is a user-friendly plugin that enables the use of a variety of pre-trained deep learning models in ImageJ and Fiji. The plugin bridges the gap between deep learning and standard life-science applications. DeepImageJ runs image-to-image operations on a standard CPU-based computer and does not require any deep learning expertise.

Training developper constructs and upload trained model, and made them available to users.

Models are available in a repository here.

It is macro recordable. It is advised to use DeepImageJ on a computer with GPU (CPU will likely be 20x slower)

The Morphonet Python API provide an easy interface to interact directly with the MorphoNet server. Very useful to upload, download your dataset and superimpose on it any quantitative and quantitative informations.

This plugin computes for each image element (pixel/voxel) the eigenvalues of the Hessian, which can be used for example to discriminate locally between plate-like, line-like, and blob-like image structures
