The Startup Screen

The first thing you see when starting ilastik is the startup screen. It allows to

• Create a new project (A)
• Open an existing project (B)
• Open a recently used project (C)

When creating a new project (A) the user can choose from several different project types:

• Pixel Classification can be used to interactively label images and to obtain a pixel prediction on unlabeled images.

• Carving is useful for segmenting objects in images which cannot be discriminated from each other by appearance but which have a visible boundary.

  • Carving from pixel predictions is a workflow where a pixel prediction of an object boundary is used to segment objects.

• Tracking Workflow allows tracking of a large and unknown number of (possible divisible) objects with similar appearance in 2d+t and 3d+t

• Object classification allows to train and classify already segmented objects in an image using object level features such as size, orientation, average color etc.

  • from pixel classification use a pixel level classifier as first stage to obtain objects
  • from binary image use a binary object mask image as object input
  • from prediction image use a probability map as object input
