About
- Description
- ilastik is a simple, user-friendly tool for interactive image classification, segmentation and analysis. It is built as a modular software framework, which currently has workflows for automated (supervised) pixel- and object-level classification, automated and semi-automated object tracking, semi-automated segmentation and object counting without detection. Most analysis operations are performed lazily, which enables targeted interactive processing of data subvolumes, followed by complete volume analysis in offline batch mode. Using it requires no experience in image processing.
- Developers
- ilastik is developed by the ilastik team in Anna Kreshuk's lab at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, with partial financial support by the DFG, the Human Brain Project and SFB 1129. Their financial support does not imply endorsement of the software.
