Project description
BaSiCPy
A python package for background and shading correction of optical microscopy images
BaSiCPy is a python package for background and shading correction of optical microscopy images. It is developed based on the Matlab version of BaSiC tool with major improvements in the algorithm.
Reference:
- BaSiCPy: A robust and scalable shadow correction tool for optical microscopy images (in prep.)
- A BaSiC Tool for Background and Shading Correction of Optical Microscopy Images by Tingying Peng, Kurt Thorn, Timm Schroeder, Lichao Wang, Fabian J Theis, Carsten Marr*, Nassir Navab*, Nature Communication 8:14836 (2017). doi: 10.1038/ncomms14836.
Simple examples
Notebook | Description | Colab Link |
---|---|---|
timelapse_brightfield | 100 continuous brightfield frames of a time-lapse movie of differentiating mouse hematopoietic stem cells. | |
timelapse_nanog | 189 continuous fluorescence frames of a time-lapse movie of differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells, which move much more slower compared to the fast moving hematopoietic stem cells, resulting in a much larger correlation between frames. Note that in this challenging case, the automatic parameters are no longer optimal, so we use the manual parameter setting (larger smooth regularization on both flat-field and dark-field) to improve BaSiC’s performance. | |
WSI_brain | you can stitch image tiles together to view the effect of shading correction |
You can also find examples of running the package at notebooks folder. Data used in the examples and a description can be downloaded from Zenodo.
Usage
See Read the Docs for the detailed usage.
Installation
For Mac, Linux or WSL2 users
Install from PyPI
pip install basicpy
or install the latest development version
git clone https://github.com/peng-lab/BaSiCPy.git
cd BaSiCPy
pip install .
For windows users
BaSiCPy requires jax
which does not support Windows officially.
However, thanks to cloudhan/jax-windows-builder, we can install BaSiCPy as follows:
pip install "jax[cpu]===0.3.14" -f https://whls.blob.core.windows.net/unstable/index.html --use-deprecated legacy-resolver
pip install basicpy
For details and latest updates, see this issue.
Install with dev dependencies
git clone https://github.com/peng-lab/BaSiCPy.git
cd BaSiCPy
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[dev]'
Development
bump2version
This repository uses bump2version to manage dependencies. New releases are pushed to PyPi in the CI pipeline when a new version is committed with a version tag and pushed to the repo.
The development flow should use the following process:
- New features and bug fixes should be pushed to
dev
- When tests have passed a new development version is ready to be release, use
bump2version major|minor|patch
. This will commit and create a new version tag with the-dev
suffix. - Additional fixes/features can be added to the current development release by using
bump2version build
. - Once the new bugs/features have been tested and a main release is ready, use
bump2version release
to remove the-dev
suffix.
After creating a new tagged version, push to Github and the version will be built and pushed to PyPi.
