|        | 
      31.2 | 38 | //Nutil Quantifier// quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent-brain section images (mouse or rat). | 
|        | 
      1.1 | 39 | |
|        | 
      31.2 | 40 | It requires the following input. |

|        | 
      1.1 | 45 | |
|        | 
      31.2 | 46 | * Input format: 24-bit RGB images in PNG. | 
| 47 | * 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). | ||
| 48 | * //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 GUI (e.g., 255, 0, 0 for red). | ||
|        | 
      1.1 | 49 | |
|        | 
      31.2 | 50 | 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. |
