Create Mask from blurred ROI

MattLee
Hello,

I'm looking to create distinct ROI's from the attached image using
intensity. From the image it is clear there are 3 cells in the centre
however when I create a Mask it combines these into a single ROI. Altering
the threshold doesn't really help either.

Is there a way to outline each cell using the intensity drop of the pixels
as a sort of Watershed?  The Watershed process requires a binary image, but
converting this image to binary combines them, so is not very helpful.

Thanks.

ROI

Hi Matt,

you could try 'Find Maxima', which can be limited to values above the
lower threshold and can do a basic watershed segmentation.
(it is a 'seeded' watershed, starting at the maxima found)

For your thumbnail image, the following seems to work:

   setThreshold(67, 255);
   run("Find Maxima...", "noise=15 output=[Segmented Particles] exclude
above");

For other images, you might need to adjust the noise threshold of 'Find
Maxima' - use the preview function to see how many particles it finds.

HTH,

Michael
