EPySeg is a package for segmenting 2D epithelial tissues. EPySeg also ships with a graphical user interface that allows for building, training and running deep learning models. Training can be done with or without data augmentation (2D-xy and 3D-xyz data augmentation are supported). EPySeg relies on the segmentation_models library. EPySeg source code is available here. Cloud version available here.
-
Install Miniconda (if not already present on your system)
-
Then in a command prompt type:
conda create -y -n TA python==3.10.12
conda activate TA
pip install -U pip
pip install -U epyseg
python -m epyseg
NB:
- To open a command prompt on Windows press 'Windows'+R then type 'cmd'
- To open a command prompt on MacOS press 'Command'+Space then type in 'Terminal'
To open the graphical user interface, type the following in a command:
conda activate TA
python -m epyseg
