To summarise, images should be in 24-bit PNG or JPEG format, with a resolution up to 16 megapixels (e.g. 4000x4000 or 5000x3000 pixels). Keep in mind that QuickNII does not benefit from image resolutions exceeding the resolution of the monitor in use. For a standard FullHD or widescreen display (1920x1080 or 1920x1200 pixels) the useful image area in QuickNII is approximately 1500x1000 pixels. Using a similar resolution ensures optimal image-loading performance. 8 8 9 -For //ilastik// (Borg et al.2019) images are downscaled in order to enable efficient processing. The pixel classification algorithm relies on input from manual user annotations of the training images, and the features ‒ intensity, edge and/or texture ‒ of the image pixels. The resizing factor is determined by trial and error, with a test run performed with //ilastik// on images of different sizes to determine the optimal resolution for segmentation. As an example, in Yates et al., 2019, the images were downscaled by a factor of 0.1and0.05for cellular features and Alzheimer's plaques respectively(factorapplies to the image widthhere).9 +For //ilastik// (Borg et al.2019), images are downscaled in order to enable efficient processing.

To match segmentations and corresponding atlas maps together, Nutil Quantifier relies on a unique ID in the file name of both files.The ID should be unique to the particular brain section and in the format: sXXX.., with XXX.. representing the section number. The section number should reflect the serial order and spacing of the sections (e.g. s002, s006, s010 for every 4^^th^^ section starting with section 2). 14 14 ... ... @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ 17 17 (It is fine to include a string of letters and numbers followed by the unique ID). 18 18 19 19 20 -== =(% style="color:#c0392b" %)Running the transformation(%%) ===20 +== (% style="color:#c0392b" %)Running the transformation(%%) == 21 21 22 22 Consult the Nutil user manual for detailed procedure (lincluded in the Nutil package available for download at Nitrc.org) 23 23
