ilastik[1] is a user-friendly free open source software for image classification and segmentation. No previous experience in image processing is required to run the software.

Features

ilastik allows user to annotate an arbitrary number of classes in images with a mouse interface. Using these user annotations and the generic (nonlinear) image features, the user can train a random forest classifier. ilastik has a CellProfiler module to use ilastik classifiers to process images within a CellProfiler framework.

History

ilastik was first released in 2011 by scientists at the Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing (HCI), University of Heidelberg.

Application

  • The Interactive Learning and Segmentation Toolkit
  • Carving[2][3]
  • Cell classification and neuron classification[4]
  • Synapse detection

Resources

ilastik project is hosted on GitHub. It is a collaborative project, any contributions such as comments, bug reports, bug fixes or code contributions are welcome.
