stardist 0.9.1

StarDist is a Python package designed for object detection with star-convex shapes, particularly useful in microscopy. It provides implementations for both 2D and 3D images and uses a model trained to predict distances to the object boundary along fixed rays and object probabilities. These predictions produce an overcomplete set of candidate polygons for a given image, with the final result obtained via non-maximum suppression.

StarDist is compatible with Python 3.6 to 3.10, requires TensorFlow, and provides pre-trained models for 2D images and example workflows via Jupyter notebooks, making it a versatile tool for cell detection and segmentation in microscopy.
