In the example below, the result before size filter is shown in white.Īfter application of the size filter, only the colored objects remain.īy selecting Hystersis in the method drop-down thresholding is performed at two levels: core, or high threshold, and final, or low threshold. This layer is activated by checking the Show intermediate results checkbox. We also provide a view on the thresholded objects before size filtering. You can check the results of the smoothing operation by first activating the “Show intermediate results” checkbox and then looking at the “Smoothed input” layer: Next, you can configure your sigmas for smoothing the probability image. You begin by selecting a channel with the Input dropdown: Selecting “Simple” in the Method dropdown will perform regular thresholding at one level, followed by the size filter.

Size filter: specify the minimum and maximum value (in terms of pixel/voxel counts for 2D/3D, respectively).įor both thresholding methods the end result is shown in the “Final output” layer.

Threshold value(s): Value to check each pixel/voxel against.

If you do not want to smooth, just select a very small sigma (like 0.6). This setting is important for very anisotropic data where we recommend not to smooth across the low-resolution axis at all. sigmas for all dimensions can be different.

Smooth: Configure sigmas for smoothing the probability map in order to reduce noise.

Input Channel(s): Select which channel of the probability map contains the objects.

The most important difference between the two is that hysteresis thresholding makes it possible to separate connected objects.īoth methods share the following parameters: There are two algorithms you can choose from to threshold your data: Simple and Hysteresis, which can be selected using the “Method” drop down. Note: To see the results of changing the parameter settings in this applet, press the “Apply” button. In this applet this continuous range is transferred into a binary one, containing only 0s and 1s (so no values in between) by comparing it to a set threshold. In ilastik probability maps (result of Pixel Classification) pixel values are in the continuous range from 0.0 to 1.0 in each channel and describe the probability that a pixel belongs into a class. Is the pixel value larger than the threshold value or not? The basic idea of thresholding is to answer a question for every pixel in an image: Suppose we have a probability map for a 2-class classification, which looks like this: This section only applies if you are in the “Object Classification ” workflow. The image should be loaded in the data input applet:įrom probabilities to a segmentation - “Threshold and Size Filter” applet Note that background pixels must have the value 0. This workflow should be used if you already have a binary segmentation or a label image. Load the probability maps in addition to the raw data in the Input Data step: If you use the Pixel Classification workflow to identify objects, we recommend you export the probability maps there and then continue with this object classification workflow. To obtain a segmentation from this input, the workflow includes a step for thresholding the probabilities. each pixel value is the pixel’s probability to belong to an object. You should choose this workflow if you have a probability map, i.e. However, once you have created a satisfactory classifier using one or more small images (or cutouts from your complete dataset), you can use the “Blockwise Object Classification”įeature to run object classification on much larger images (prediction only - no training). We instead recommend to use the two workflows separately, exporting probability maps from the Pixel Classification workflow and using them as input for the Object Classification workflow.įor object classification, images used in training have to be small enough to fit entirely into your machine’s RAM. The combined “Pixel Classification + Object Classification” workflow (found under “Other Workflows”) is primarily intended for demonstration purposes and its use in real projects is discouraged. The workflow exists in two variants to handle different types for the second input: pixel predictions, a segmentation or a label image. Object classification requires a second input besides the usual raw image data: an image that indicates for pixels whether they belong to an object or not, i.e.

Object Classification Object Classification Demo (3 minutes) How it works, what it can doĪs the name suggests, the object classification workflow aims to classify full objects, based on object-level features and user annotations.Īn object in this context is a set of pixels that belong to the same instance.
