|---|---|---|
| Coded Image | A label map: every pixel of a detected object carries that object's ID, and background is zero. | |
| Deep Learning Nuclei Detection | Nuclei detection by a trained neural network, which recognizes nuclei by appearance rather than intensity rules. | |
| Dots Detection Dots (FISH/CISH) Detection Engine | Finds small punctate signals such as FISH and CISH dots, even where neighboring dots partly overlap. | |
| Engines | The building blocks of an analysis: each engine takes images in and produces images or measurements out. | |
| Grow Grow Engine (Global) | Expands each detected event outward by a set distance, for example from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. | |
| Layers | A set of engines structured to detect one type of object and measure it; an analysis is one or more layers. | |
| Manual Correction Manual Correction Engine | Editing detection results by hand: split, merge, add, or remove events before measurement. | |
| Membrane Membrane Detection Engine | Detects membrane-like structures in a membrane-marker image, producing a membrane mask and its one-pixel-wide skeleton. | |
| Nuclei Detection | Finds each nucleus, separates touching ones, and gives every nucleus its own ID: the start of cell analysis. | |
| Remove Objects Remove Objects Engines | Removes detected events that fail size, shape, or intensity criteria before measurement. | |
| The StrataQuest Workspace Layer · Section · Engine: how a StrataQuest analysis is composed | How an analysis is organized: layers of engines, from Pre-Processing and Detection through to Measurements. | |
| Tissue Detection | Finds where tissue is on the slide, separating it from empty glass so analysis covers only the specimen. | |
| Total Area Total Area Detection Engine | Thresholds an image into a single mask of everything above or below a cutoff: area, not object counts. | |
| Watershed Watershed Segmentation Engine (Global) | Segments an image the way water fills valleys: the ridges where basins meet become object boundaries. |
