Huygens Object Analyzer

Obtain reliable object statistics from 3D-5D images.

Objects in 3D-5D (multichannel, time series) images can be quickly and easily analyzed with Huygens Object Analyzer for Huygens Essential and Professional and Object Analyzer Basic for Huygens Localizer. Statistics of objects are produced with just a few button clicks. Object segmentation - which is often considered being a challenging and subjective task - is made easy with algorithms that set the seed and threshold levels optimally, offering instant feedback like number of objects per channel. Additional tools like watershed segmentation, object filtering, and advanced region of interest (ROI) settings are at hand to fine-tune 3D object segmentation. The segmented objects are directly visualized by the high-end continuous Iso Surface Ray Tracing renderer and ready for immediate analysis. Various analysis modes and presets are available to quickly answer your specific research question.
