Crop Cells (Big Data)

The tool allows to crop cells in very large time-series of image files. It expects projections of the files in one folder and the complete time-series in another folder. The user can define regions of interest on the projections and the corresponding images will be cropped time-step by time-step to the regions.

Getting Started

Drag the link crop_cells_big_data_series.ijm onto the ImageJ launcher window, save it under macros/toolsets in the ImageJ installation and restart ImageJ.

Select the "crop_cells_big_data_series" toolset from the >> button of the ImageJ launcher.
