Basic Usage

import cellshape_helper as helper


PATH_TO_TIF_FILES = "path/to/tif/files/"
PATH_TO_SAVE_MESH = "path/to/save/mesh/files/"
PATH_TO_SAVE_PC = "path/to/save/pointcloud/files/"
NUM_POINTS = 2048

helper.tif_to_pc_directory(PATH_TO_TIF_FILES, 
                           PATH_TO_SAVE_MESH, 
                           PATH_TO_SAVE_PC, 
                           NUM_POINTS)

Parameters

• PATH_TO_TIF_FILES: str.
  The path to you binary masks of cells or nuclei.
• PATH_TO_SAVE_MESH: str.
  The path where you want to save the mesh objects to.
• PATH_TO_SAVE_PC: str.
  The path where you want to save your point clouds to.
• NUM_POINTS: str.
  The number of points to sample from the mesh object when creating a point cloud.
