napari-sediment 0.2.0

A plugin to process hyperspectral images of sediments

napari-sediment

This napari plugin is designed to hpyerspectral images of sediment cores. It is composed of three interfaces allowing the user to:

• import HDR images
• normalize the images using white and dark references
• mask unwanted regions
• perform spectral dimensionality reduction via minimum noise fraction analysis
• perform spatial dimensionality reduction based on pixel purity indices
• identify representative end-members by clustering pure pixels
• select relevant regions in spectra to compute absorption indices and create absorption maps

Pre-processing: Sediment widget

The sediment widget allows the user to import an HDR image and to normalize it using white and dark references. The widget also allows the user to mask unwanted regions of the images.

Installation

Create a conda environment and activate it. We highly recommend to use the new conda version called mamba to speed up the installation process. You can install it from here. If you don't use mamba, replace the mamba command by conda in the following instructions:

mamba create -n sediment python=3.9 napari pyqt -c conda-forge
mamba activate sediment

Then you can install napari-sediment use:
