Seg2Link is a napari-based software specifically designed for scientific research. The software aims to tackle a focused problem: offering an efficient toolbox for quick manual refinement of automated segmentation in large-scale 3D cellular images, particularly useful for brain images obtained through electron microscopy."

Our extensive documentation offers step-by-step tutorials, and our academic paper delves into the scientific methodology and validation behind the software.

Unlike other segmentation solutions, Seg2Link requires pre-processed predictions of cell/non-cell regions as inputs. These predictions can conveniently be generated using Seg2linkUnet2d (Documentation). This integrated approach makes the segmentation process both accurate and efficient.

Features

  • Utilizing Deep Learning Predictions -- Seg2Link takes deep learning predictions as input and refines initial inaccurate predictions into highly accurate results through semi-automatic user operations.

  • User-Friendly -- Seg2Link not only auto-generates segmentation results but also allows for easy inspection and manual corrections through minimal mouse and keyboard interactions. It supports features like cell ordering, multiple-step undo and redo.

  • Efficiency -- Seg2Link is engineered for the rapid processing of large 3D images with billions of voxels.
