this operator implements a region separation based on sampling distances between region centroids and contour points and analyzing resulting distance profiles
output of the operator is a label images of detected (separated) nuclei regions
Greyscale Input Image
the single-channel gray-scale image to be analyzed
if the image contains multiple channels, only the first one is processed
Label Input Image
label image encoding result of prior nuclei separation with merged regions
Operator mode
operator to be used for region separation, currently only a STANDARD mode is available
Do erosion
turns on erosion of separated nuclei regions
Erode mask size
size of mask for erosion
Minimum nuclei size
minimum size of valid nuclei after separation, in case of too small regions resulting from separation, separation is reverted
Minimum fraction size
minimum size fraction of each nucleus after separation
Dilation mask size
size of structuring element for dilation on cutpoint hypotheses
Opening mask size
size of structuring element for opening on cutpoint hypotheses
Tophat size
size of structuring element for top hat on distances
Tophat threshold
threshold for result from top hat
Debug mode
turns on different levels of debuggin
Verbose
activates additional console output
