brainglobe-segmentation#
brainglobe-segmentation is a companion to brainreg allowing segmentation of regions/objects within the brain (e.g. injection sites, probes etc.) allowing for automated analysis of brain region distribution, and visualisation (e.g. in brainrender).
Installation#
brainglobe-segmentation comes bundled with brainreg’s optional napari dependency, so see the brainreg installation instructions.
brainglobe-segmentation can be installed on its own (see below), but you will need to register your data with brainreg first.
Standalone installation#
If you don’t want to install brainreg, brainglobe-segmentation can be installed on its own. brainglobe-segmentation is
distributed as a plugin for napari, so first follow the
napari installation instructions. You can then install brainglobe-segmentation from the
napari plugin menu.
Alternatively, the plugin can be installed into a Python environment with pip install brainglobe-segmentation.
