Yeast Colony Counter.
Description
Yeast colony counter is a tool for batch processing of images of Petri dishes with yeast colonies. It evaluates two parameters: the relative coverage of the dish, and the number of colonies in the dish. The tool is designed for use in a research laboratory, where manual manipulation of the dishes and a general-purpose imaging system are utilised, rather than in a specialized commercial laboratory. Processing of dishes with dark background is assumed.
The tool performs automatic thresholding of the image, dish localization and image segmentation. The images are checked for corectness (conditions as "dish partly out of image" or "dish image too small" are evaluated). Currently, it accepts .jpg and .tiff images, other formats may be added on request. The results are stored in a CSV-file - see documentation for more details.
The tool provides simple graphical editor for correction of the machine counting result.
The tool is citeware.
