puchades 2.4 6 **Basic steps:**
sharoncy 1.1 7
puchades 2.4 8 **//Quantifier//** locates and quantifies labelling identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat). It requires the following input:

puchades 2.4 10 (% start="1" style="list-style-type:decimal" %)
puchades 2.5 11 1. **Segmentations with the labelling displayed in one RGB colour**
sharoncy 1.1 12
puchades 2.4 13 **Requirement:**
sharoncy 1.1 14
puchades 2.4 15 * must be 24-bit RGB images in PNG format
16 * same proportions as the images used in QuickNII to generate the atlas maps (can be a different size)
17 * **//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 //Excel template//.
sharoncy 1.1 18
puchades 2.4 19 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.
