Implementation of the STAPLE segmentation algorithm

Project description

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/staple.svg https://img.shields.io/travis/fepegar/staple.svg Documentation Status Updates

Python implementation of the Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE) algorithm for generating ground truth volumes from a set of binary segmentations.

The STAPLE algorithm is described in S. Warfield, K. Zou, W. Wells, Validation of image segmentation and expert quality with an expectation-maximization algorithm in MICCAI 2002: Fifth International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany, 2002, pp. 298-306.

Installation

$ pip install staple

Usage

$ staple seg_1.nii.gz seg_2.nii.gz seg_3.nii.gz result.nii.gz

Caveats

  • The SimpleITK implementation is about 16 times faster for the test images. The implementation in this repository is mostly for educational purposes.

  • Markov random field (MRF) preprocessing is not implemented (nor is it in the ITK version). If you need STAPLE with MRF, check out NiftySeg.

Credits

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.
