10 **//Nutil Quantifier//** quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat).
11
12 It requires the following input:
13
14 1. (% style="color:#c0392b" %)**Segmentations with the labelling displayed in a single RGB colour**
15
16 **Requirement:**
17
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).
21
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.
