Description#

A 2D mask segmentation produces two outputs saved in the segmentedObjects folder:

scan_002_mask0_002_ROI_converted_decon_ch01_segmentedMasks.png
scan_002_mask0_002_ROI_converted_decon_ch01_Masks.npy

The PNG file is a representation of the raw image and the segmented objects.

The NPY file is a 2D labeled numpy array containing the segmented objects with an identical size to the original image. Background has a value of 0 and each mask contains a different integer. The maximum value in this matrix corresponds to the number of masks detected. The file name is constructed using the original root filename with the tag _Masks.

Warning: This mode operates in 2D, therefore the Startdist network provided must be in 2D.
