Whole-brain cell detection, registration and analysis.
Cellfinder is a collection of tools from the Margrie Lab and others at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for the analysis of whole-brain imaging data such as serial-section imaging and lightsheet imaging in cleared tissue.
The aim is to provide a single solution for:
- Cell detection (initial cell candidate detection and refinement using deep learning.
- Atlas registration (using amap)
- Analysis of cell positions in a common space
Installation is with
pip install cellfinder
,
but full documentation can be
found here.
This software is at a very early stage, and was written with our data in mind. Over time we hope to support other data types/formats. If you have any questions or issues, please get in touch by email, gitter or by raising an issue.
