7 **Basic steps:**
8
9 **//Quantifier//** locates and quantifies labeling identified by segmentation in rodent brain section images (mouse or rat).
10
11 It requires the following input:
12
13 1. (% style="color:#c0392b" %)**Segmentations with the labeling displayed in one RGB colour**
14
15 **Requirement:**
16
17 * must be 24-bit RGB images in PNG format.
18 * same proportions as the images used in QuickNII to generate the atlas maps (can be a different size).
19 * //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//.
20
21 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.

26 Generate the atlas maps in FLAT format with the //QuickNII //software.

30 1. (% style="color:#c0392b" %)**Reference atlas label file**(%%) (in LABEL format) corresponding to the relevant atlas. The following reference atlases are included in the //Nutil// package (in the “Labels” folder).
