36 **Basic steps**
37
38 //Nutil Quantifier// quantifies and assigns anatomical location to labelled objects identified by segmentation in rodent-brain section images (mouse or rat).
39
40 It requires the following input.
41
42 1. (% style="color:#c0392b" %)**Segmentations with the labelling displayed in a single RGB colour**
43
44 **Requirement**
45
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).
49
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.
