Range of beta values in segmentation algorithm?
by Yuta Sato March 12, 2015

March 12, 2015

In the following skimage.segmentation.random_walker algorithm: What is the range of 'beta' values that can be supplied? I am working with a single band 8bit unsigned image. Is it 0 to 255? skimage.segmentation.random_walker(data, labels, beta=130, mode='bf', tol=0.001, copy=True,multichannel=False, return_full_prob=False, spacing=None) beta : float [Penalization coefficient for the random walker motion (the greater beta, the more difficult the diffusion)] Thanks for your support.

Re: Equivalent of watershed for cutting connected components of an image of particles?

Jumping in from the peanut gallery, can you reliable identify when the segmentation has gone sideways? Looking at the second moment, area to bounding box area, or some other compactness measure? If you can get away with it, you could just drop the offending cells. If not, then you can try eroding the joined cells until they split into multiple segments.

Hey guys, Im following up on Adam's behalf, but this is an example of an image we are working with in trying to separate cells that are touching each other. Also you can see the top middle particle has a crescent shape, but is actually a healthy red blood cell that has been segmented incorrectly because of glare. Is that a way to connect the two tips of the shape so that I could then run "binary_fill_holes()" to correctly segment the cell. Thanks!

I am interested in presenting a tutorial this year, but will be gone most of June, so I need a partner in crime to share in the fun. Any volunteers? Stéfan

extract_edges_after_segmentation

March 10, 2015

<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HJwNDOP7D1U/VP7KITX1mFI/AAAAAAAACXQ/zn1P…> Hi there, First of all, many thanks for this very nice and useful package! I just started using the skimage library and I do some image processing in very noisy angiographic data. After some image enhancement in the obtained images, I applied a canny edge detection algorithm implemented in skimage and I came up with the attached image (after dilation and erosion). Do you have any advice on how could I extract only the vessel edges automatically from the image? I looked in examples with labels or binary hole filling but it does not work well for my problem. Many thanks in advance, Giorgos

Well, there is not reason to use `fit ellipse` from OpenCV, you can use `skimage.measure.EllipseModel`. > On Mar 5, 2015, at 5:38 PM, Kevin Keraudren <kevin.keraudren(a)googlemail.com> wrote: > > Hi Arno, > > Looking at the code, I would ask: Did your score improve by setting accuracy=1 ? > > https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/blob/master/skimage/transform/… > > Considering that you are asking for accuracy below half a pixel, I would not be surprised if the voting process of the Hough transform is not that accurate.

Extracting/Isolating Segmented Objects in scikit-image
by Sumesh K.C. March 9, 2015

March 9, 2015

Hello Everyone, I've just started working with scikit-image python package for image processing and segmentation. Its cool to learn. I'm getting problem in extracting or simply isolating the segmented objects after running segmentation like quickshift, watershed, slic. How can i do this? Need your help! Thank you, in advance!

Hi Sumesh, also see http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/auto_examples/plot_label.html#example-plot… with the use of "label".
