10.1 | 9 | **//Nutil Quantifier//** quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat). |

1.1 | 16 | |
| |
21.1 | 17 | * Input format: 24-bit RGB images in PNG |
| 18 | * The images have to have the same aspect ratio 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). | ||
| |
1.1 | 20 | |
| |
2.4 | 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. |
