10 1. **Segmentations with the labelling displayed in one RGB colour**
11
12 **Requirement:**
13
14 * must be 24-bit RGB images in PNG format
15 * same proportions as the images used in QuickNII to generate the atlas maps (can be a different size)
16 * **//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 code in the //Excel template//.
17
18 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.

23 Generate the atlas maps in FLAT format with the //QuickNII //software

26 1. **Anchored XML** file generated with the //QuickNII// software.
