CellProfiler image segmentationĪ CellProfiler pipeline is used to segment cells based on the pixel probabilities generated in the previous step. Please follow the Ilastik instructions for more information. These pixel-level propabilies are used to segment images in the next step. The classification probability is observed and regions with high uncertainty are re-labelled.īased on the specified labels, probabilities for each pixel belonging to the nuclear, cytoplasmic and background class are generated.

Image crops are labelled based on nuclear, cytoplasmic and background pixels. Please follow the pre-processing guide for more information. To work with the generated imaging data, they will first be converted into OME-TIFF, multi-channel and single-channel TIFF formats that are compatible with most imaging software.Ī key step of the pre-processing pipeline is also the selection of channels for (i) downstream cell measurements and (ii) ilastik pixel classification.Ī CellProfiler pipeline is used to crop smaller images for reducing the computational burden during pixel labelling. For an overview on common image data types, please refer to the scikit-image documentation. Throughout this pipeline, images in TIFF format are saved as unsigned 16-bit images with an intensity range of 0 - 65535. This will automatically open a jupyter instance at in your browser.įrom there, you can open the scripts/imc_preprocessing.ipynb notebook and start the data pre-processing. Alternatively you can clone the ImcPluginsCP repository individually and set the path correctly in CellProfiler.Īctivate the environment created in 3. The current setup is tested with Ilastik v1.3.3post3 and CellProfiler v4.2.1.įurthermore, before running the analysis, you will need to setup a conda environment:Ĭonfigure CellProfiler to use the plugins by opening the CellProfiler GUI, selecting Preferences and setting the CellProfiler plugins directory to path/to/ImcSegmentationPipeline/resources/ImcPluginsCP/plugins and restart CellProfiler.
