4 4  Classic [[ilastik>>https://www.ilastik.org/]] is a simple, user-friendly desktop tool for **interactive image classification, segmentation and analysis**. It is built as a modular software framework, which currently has workflows for automated (supervised) pixel- and object-level classification, automated and semi-automated object tracking, semi-automated segmentation and object counting without detection. Most analysis operations are performed **lazily**, which enables targeted interactive processing of data subvolumes, followed by complete volume analysis in offline batch mode. Using it requires no experience in image processing.

6 6  [[webilastik>>https://app.ilastik.org/]] is a web version of ilastik's Pixel Classification Workflow, integrated with the ebrains ecosystem. It can access the data-proxy buckets for reading and writing (though reading is still suffering from latency issues). It uses Neuroglancer as a 3D viewer as well as compute sessions allocated from the CSCS infrastructure.

11 -Webilastik is a web application that can be accessed on [[https:~~/~~/app.ilastik.org>>https://app.ilastik.org]]. We suggest using it via the Chrome (or Chromium) web browser for now, since most of the testing has been done in this browser and subtle differences between browsers might cause unexpected behavior in the application.
11 +=== Opening a sample Dataset ===
12 12  
13 -(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
14 -You can find the webilastik application at [[https:~~/~~/app.ilastik.org/>>url:https://app.ilastik.org/]]. You can also go directly to the [[application page>>https://app.ilastik.org/public/nehuba/index.html#!%7B%22layout%22:%22xy%22%7D]].
13 +Go to [[app.ilastik.org/>>app.ilastik.org/]] and load a [[Neuroglancer Precomputed Chunks dataset>>https://github.com/google/neuroglancer/tree/master/src/neuroglancer/datasource/precomputed]]. You can e.g. use a sample data set that is already in the server by pasting the following URL into Neuroglancer's prompt:
15 15  
16 -Webilastik is an overlay on top of other data viewers. In particular, this implementation uses [[Neuroglancer>>https://github.com/google/neuroglancer]] as an underlying data viewer, so if you're familiar with its controls you can still use them when using webilastik.

18 -=== Moving the controls window ===

32 -You should be presented with a popup prompt where you can type in the URL of a dataset you want to view, in the format typically used by Neuroglancer. There are a few sample datasets hosted in webilastik:

54 54  
55 -So, for example, to load the sample data inside the (% style="background-color:#3498db; color:#ffffff" %)ana-workshop(%%) bucket, under the path (% style="background-color:#9b59b6; color:#ffffff" %)tg-ArcSwe_mice_precomputed/hbp-00138_122_381_423_s001.precomputed(% style="color:#000000" %) (%%) like in the example below:

81 -==== A Note on Neuroglancer and 2D data ====
82 -
83 -
84 -Neuroglancer interprets all data as 3D, and visualizing a 2D image is interpreted as a single flat slice of data in 3D space. Scrolling in Neuroglancer can make the viewer go past this single slice of data, effectively hiding it from view. You can see the current viewer position in the top-left corner of the viewport, and you can edit those coordinates to reset the viewer to a position where your data is present and therefore visible (usually z=0 for 2D data):

97 -Normal ilastik operation can be computationally intensive, requiring dedicated compute resources to be allocated to every user working with it.

106 106  === Selecting Image Features ===
107 107  
108 108  Pixel Classification uses different characteristics ("features") of your image to determine which class each pixel should belong to. These take into account, for example, color and texture of each pixel as well as that of the neighboring pixels. Each one of this characteristics requires some computational power, which is why you can select only the ones that are sensible for your particular dataset.

137 137  Now you can start adding brush strokes. Select a color from the color picker, check the "Enable Brushing" checkbox to enable brushing (and disable navigation), and click and drag over the image to add brush strokes. Ilastik will map each used color to a "class", and will try to figure out a class for every pixel in the image based on the examples provided by the brush strokes. By painting, you provide ilastik with samples of what a pixel in that particular class should look like. The following image shows an example with 2 classes: teal, representing the "foreground" or the "cell class", and magenta, representing the "background" class.

For now, webilastik will only export to ebrains' data-proxy buckets; Fill in the name of the bucket and then the prefix (i.e.: path within the bucket) where the results in Neuroglancer's precomputed chunks format should be written to.
