Hi @mdayao, the membrane segmentation is pretty straightforward and is based on CellProfiler methods that made sense in the context of tissue images. It works like this:
memb_sigma
memb_tresh_method
memb_hole_size
memb_min_dist
and memb_max_dist
memb_propagation_regularization
where lower values mean more weight is given to the intensity of the original membrane image and high values mean more emphasis is put on splitting cells at something closer to equidistant points (see here for more details)I never documented that anywhere but the code for it is here. This config also shows some settings I used for membrane segmentation in the publication.
Great, thank you! This is very helpful.
Hi @eric-czech,
I am looking to use a membrane stain channel for segmentation the cell boundaries in CODEX data. I see that there is a "processor: cytometry: membrane_channel_name" in the config file for me to specify the membrane channel to use; however, it is unclear to me what the different parameters under "processor: cytometry: segmentation_params" should be set to in this case.
Additionally, I know that Cytokit uses CellProfiler's U-Net for nuclei segmentation, but what is the method of segmentation for the cell membranes?
Thank you, Monica
