How to use Pixcavator

Pixcavator finds objects in the image. These objects are captured inside contours and they are also listed in a table that contains the size, location, and other characteristics of each object. The analysis goes through three stages: Stage 1: automatic. A data structure is created that contains complete information about the content of the image. Stage 2: semi-automatic. The user moves sliders corresponding to objects’ characteristics to instantly change their contours and choose the best segmentation. The output table is also updated instantly. Stage 3: manual. The user can irrelevant details from the analysis by simply clicking on them.  Take a tour below (click on the image to see the full screenshot). For more examples of image analysis with Pixcavator, see our image gallery and especially our wiki. Load the image... Push "Run" and in  couple of seconds you can view the preliminary results... The segmentation is unsatisfactory, so let's adjust the sliders... This is better but there are still a few meaningless details. Remove each of them by clicking on it... The result is acceptable. To confirm let's color the cells... You can also remove the background... You can also explore the list of objects on the right - locations, measurements, etc. At any point you can save the table as a spreadsheet to your hard disk... For more see our Tutorial.
