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. 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 results like number of objects per channel. Additional watershed tools, 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.
Interactive Scene
Objects can be viewed from all angles, analyzed, discarded, and set as a reference anchor, using only your mouse cursor
Easy Segmentation
Advanced segmentation, ROI, and watershed options allow you to obtain the most reliable results from your valuable data
Many Object Statistics
All kinds of object statistics are presented within seconds in a clear table and graph, and can be exported as a text, csv, or MatLab file for further analysis.
