Bioimage Analysis / Python package
StarDist
Detect and segment individual nuclei and other compact objects using learned star-convex shapes.
Best fit
Researchers counting crowded, roughly round nuclei in fluorescence or histology images.
What you need
A compatible Python and TensorFlow environment and model weights suited to the image type, or representative labels for model training.
What to check
Strongly concave, branching, or elongated objects may not be represented well by star-convex shapes.
