Method Detail

detectCells

CellDetectionResult detectCells(ImageEvent<?> detectionImage)
                         throws CellDetectionException,
                                java.rmi.RemoteException

Detects the cell in the detectionImage image according to the configuration of the addon. Same as calling detectCells(detectionImage, new ImageEvent[0]).

Parameters:

detectionImage - The image which should be analyzed.

Returns:

The result of the cell detection algorithm.

Throws:

CellDetectionException

java.rmi.RemoteException

detectCells

CellDetectionResult detectCells(ImageEvent<?> detectionImage,
                                ImageEvent<?>[] quantificationImages)
                         throws CellDetectionException,
                                java.rmi.RemoteException

Detects the cell in the detectionImage image according to the configuration of the addon. The additional images in quantificationImages are used to quantify e.g. the fluorescence level in a certain channel. Note that not all algorithms support quantification of further images. These algorithms should implement this method, however, are not required to use the images for quantification...

Parameters:

detectionImage - The image which should be analyzed.

quantificationImages - Images which should be quantified.

Returns:

The result of the cell detection algorithm.

Throws:

CellDetectionException

java.rmi.RemoteException
