7 **Basic steps:**

9 **//Nutil Quantifier//** quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat).
10
11 It requires the following input:
12
13 1. (% style="color:#c0392b" %)**Segmentations with the labelling displayed in one RGB colour**
14
15 **Requirement:**
16
17 * must be 24-bit RGB images in PNG format.
18 * same proportions as the images used in QuickNII to generate the atlas maps (can be a different size).
19 * //Quantifier** **//is only able to extract one RGB colour at a time. Apply one RBG colour to all of the objects of interest, and specify this colour co//d//e in the GUI (e.g. 255, 0, 0 for red).
20
21 To generate the segmentations we recommend the //Pixel and// //Object Classification workflows// in the //ilastik// software (//ilastik.org//). However, any image analysis software may be used.
