Cenfind is a command line interface written in Python to detect and assign centrioles in immunofluorescence images of human cells. Specifically, it orchestrates the detection of centrioles, the detection of the nuclei and the assignment of the centrioles to the nearest nucleus.
- Install cenfind from PyPI:
pip install cenfind- You need to download it from https://figshare.com/articles/software/Cenfind_model_weights/21724421
- Collect all images in a project folder inside a projections folder (<project_name>/projection/).
- Run
scorewith the path to the project, the path to the model, the index of the nuclei channel (usually 0 or 3), the channel to score:
cenfind score /path/to/dataset /path/to/model/ -n 0 -c 1 2 3- Check that the predictions in the folders
