Cellfinder is a comprehensive framework for image storage, filtering, feature extraction and registration. Cellfinder unifies the power of R (i.e. EBImage), ImageMagick, Postgres, Perl and custom command line tools (e.g. www.leptonica.org) into a graphical block oriented programming language. Cellfinder comes with all building blocks for powerful graphical ready-to-go appliances that run in any web browser. Cellfinder has already been used to buid cell counting applications in the laboratory setting, clinical image planimetry, clinical flicker comparisons and video stabilisation.
Features in detail:
- 100% browser based
- Desktop-quality UI (e.g. keyboard navigation, unlimited undo / redo)
- Image repository
- Stack support
- Feature editors for dots, lines, angles, polygons and voronois
- Batch processing
- RANSAC tool for image registration
- RESTful API (incl. WebSocket)
# the easiest way to get Postgres up and running on a mac is Postgres.app
# we need a current R version including developer tools
# perl is already installed on linux and mac but we need quite a bunch of non-core perl modules
