      10.1 | 10 | **//Nutil Quantifier//** quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat). |

      1.1 | 17 | |
|        | 
      21.1 | 18 | * Input format: 24-bit RGB images in PNG | 
| 19 | * 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). | ||
| 20 | * //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 | 21 | |
|        | 
      2.4 | 22 | 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. |
