dynamic-watershed 1.1.3

Post-processing function used in 'Segmentation of Nuclei in Histopathology Images by deep regression of the distance map'.

dynamic_watershed

Package description

We implement the splitting algorithm for splitting nuclei nucleas described in in 'Nuclei segmentation in histopathology images using deep neural networks'. This algorithm is essentially a dynamic watershed. The main function is named: post_process.

Installation

dynamic_watershed can be installed by unzipping the source code in one directory and using this command: ::

python setup.py install

You can also install it directly from the Python Package Index with this command (not working yet): ::

pip install dynamic_watershed

Example

>>> from dynamic_watershed import post_process
>>> from skimage.io import imread
>>> probability_image = imread('example.png')
>>> p1, p2 = 7, 0.5
>>> result_segmentation = post_process(probability_image, p1, thresh=p2)
