StarDist - Object Detection with Star-convex Shapes
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.
The stardist/stardist repo was created 7 years ago and the last code push was 3 days ago.
The project is very popular with an impressive 1172 github stars!
