Network streaming

The activity of segmented cells can be streamed over the network for online processing or for use in closed-loop experiments. Two configuration variables define the host name and port the data will be streamed to. In this particular example we will be streaming data to the same machine, but you can change stream_host to the…

Sbxsegmenttool: A simple GUI for off-line segmentation

Sbxsegmenttool is a simple GUI that replicates the same mechanism used in Scanbox’s online segmentation to assist in the segmentation of cells and/or processes in data that has already been collected. Sbxsegmenttool expects the images to have already been rigidly aligned.  After loading an *.align file, the mean mean aligned image will be shown momentarily and then replaced by a…

basic processing pipeline

Scanbox includes some basic processing functions that you can use to (a) align the images to compensate for (x,y) movement, (b) segment cells, (c) extract the signals corresponding to the segmented cells from the image sequences. Motion compensation (sbxalignx & sbxaligndir) The first step that is sometimes required is to compensate for motion in the…
