Neuron Networks

Oezkucur, Nurdan
Hi All,

I am looking for image processing software which can perform neuron network analyzing in a quantitative and automated manner. I was wondering whether image J/Fiji has such a plug in. I have series of phase-contrast images (attached one example) taken from growing neural cells, and I try to find a way to assess the differences in degree of cellular connectivity/networking between various conditions. I will be very glad if you could give me some advices on how/with which tools to do such analyses.

thank you very much,
Nurdan

Hi Nurdan,

maybe machine-learning would be a easier way to do it than develop an
entire image processing pipeline. ilastik ( http://www.ilastik.org/)
software could help you. It can classify your images in such an fast and
easy way! You would have three classes:
  - axon
  - soma+dendrites...
  - other

Once you would have classified your images you could use the results for
further statistical analysis.

Cheers,
David

thanks David, it sounds very practical. I will look at that and see what/how I can do.

Similar to Ilastik is Fiji's Trainable Segmentation:
http://fiji.sc/Trainable_Segmentation and its sibling Advanced Weka
Segmentation: http://fiji.sc/Advanced_Weka_Segmentation

The basic difference between the two is that the Fiji plugins try to
integrate with ImageJ, hence have a much simpler user interface with less
options. Ilastik is a special-purpose software to provide image
segmentation by machine learning and has a pretty sophisticated user
interface.

So if you need to integrate your segmentation into a larger image
processing/analysis workflow, I'd suggest to go with the Advanced Weka
Segmentation, otherwise Ilastik seems to be a good choice.

Ciao,
Johannes

You have a very similar approach within Fiji:

Hi Johannes,

Thank you very much for your suggestions, highly appreciated. I will check Fiji's too and see what works best for the images I want to analyze.

cheers,
Nurdan

thanks Ignacio, I will also try Fiji. One question ahead; what exactly do the plots tell us about the images processed (segmented, having introduced objects like axons)?

Re: Neuron Networks

Ignacio Arganda-Carreras
Do you mean the "Plot result" option? That has to do with the accuracy
of the result. It's a way of visualizing how well the method performed
based on true positive ratio vs false positive ratio.
