Running plugin
You can drag and drop a variety of images into napari. You can also open a folder of images to process together (or sequentially). See napari image documentation for more advanced image loading.
2D images
Here is an example of the plugin running on the 2D sample image.
Batch processing in 2D
Cellpose will process all images in an opened folder with the same settings
and return masks for each image with the name folder_name_fileid
. You can
export all the images in the napari File menu.
Here is an example of the plugin running on a folder of 2D data.
3D segmentation
Cellpose can segment 3D and 4D stacks. If there is a channel axis, specify it by labelling it with ‘c’.
To run 3D processing, check process stack as 3D
.
If the 3D segmentation is not working well and there is inhomogeneity in Z, try stitching
masks using the stitch threshold slices
option
instead of checking process stack as 3D
. In this setting,
cellpose will create masks in 2D on each XY slice and then stitch them across
slices if the IoU between the mask on the current slice and the next slice is
greater than or equal to the stitch threshold slices
.
Here is an example of the plugin running on the 3D sample image.
Time segmentation
Stitching can also be applied in time by setting stitch threshold slices
>0.
Here is an example of the plugin running on cell tracking challenge data.
