Use Cellpose to segment prior to running a CellProfiler pipeline #5

Closed wheelern closed 2 years ago

wheelern commented 2 years ago

The current approach for segmenting different sizes in C. elegans in wells with non-uniform backgrounds (i.e., contamination, poor illumination, leftover HB101) isn't good (to be frank). Cellpose could offer a substantial improvement.

Tasks:

This will be first pipeline that requires mixing and matching of Python/CellProfiler modules/pipelines and would be best served by waiting until we move from module --> pipeline logic. However, a more immediate bandaid could be to run the cellpose command in the wrapper immediately before the running the file list generator.

The cellpose branch has been created to work on this (69065d3e85c099c943fb6677180b376d7ca4c96b)
