by Erin Weisbart This explains how to set up a Dashboard in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloudwatch, which widgets we find most helpful for monitoring Distributed CellProfiler (DCP) runs in our Cloudwatch Dashboard, and what you might learn from each widget. AWS Cloudwatch Dashboards are “customizable...

Pearl V. Ryder In the previous posts in this series, I explained how I approached an image analysis project to segment extracellular fibrils, giving an overview of the project (Part I), showing how I removed bright debris from the images (Part II), enhanced the fiber brightness and reduced...

Pearl V. Ryder In the previous post in this “Thinking like an image analyst” series, I explained how I enhanced fibers to increase their brightness and applied a background subtraction to decrease the intensity of the background. In combination with masking out very bright debris pixels ( Part II of...

Pearl V. Ryder In the previous blog post in this series, I demonstrated how I masked out debris that was brighter than the fibers of interest. In this post, I’ll walk through how I enhanced the fibers in order to increase their brightness and decreased the background intensity of the images. If you...

David R. Stirling Hi everyone, Today we’re releasing the RunCellpose plugin for CellProfiler 4! This plugin is designed to allow you to use the popular Cellpose segmentation algorithm to generate object sets within a CellProfiler pipeline. Cellpose uses a neural network followed by post-processing...

Pearl V. Ryder In the first post of this series, I gave an overview of this project and explained how I imported the data into CellProfiler. If you’d like to follow along in CellProfiler, the pipeline and images for this project are available here. Now that the images have been imported, I could...

Pearl V. Ryder One thing I’ve found very helpful in my journey as an image analyst is learning from others by observing their thought process when they tackle a new problem. In this series of five blog posts, my goal is to share how I approached an image analysis project that I recently undertook as...

Pearl V. Ryder The Robust Background algorithm is a powerful algorithm for automatically setting thresholds to segment objects of interest when your image contains mostly background. However, since it contains the largest number of tunable parameters of any thresholding algorithm in CellProfiler, it...

Alice Lucas We’re delighted to release Piximi Annotator, a new image annotation tool that we built to be easily accessible, easy to use, yet with a full complement of annotation tools to allow for specific, refined annotations. Annotations are useful when training machine learning models to...

David R. Stirling Hi all, We’ve now released CellProfiler 4.2! You can download it from https://cellprofiler.org/releases . We have a few new features and improvements in this release. There have been numerous smaller bug fixes, but the key changes are as follows: We’ve fixed an issue which was...
