Cell classification
HistoMetriX enables you to identify and quantify different cell populations based on their intensity, morphology, or location within the tissue.
With HistoMetriX, you can:
- Define cell populations by combining as many thresholds as needed across intensity, morphological, or spatial features.
- Train Machine Learning models from your own annotations to automatically classify cells.
- Automatically explore populations within your data using unsupervised clustering and automatic thresholding methods.
- Visualize different populations directly on the image and quantify their abundance and distribution.
Threshold-based Classification
Simply define your cell populations by combining as many thresholds as needed across intensity, morphological, or spatial features.
