The program performs colocalization analysis on pairs of images in Matlab and calculates
The program semi-automatically analyses all images in a user-selected folder. After starting the program by typing "processAllInDirForRConf" at the command prompt the following dialog box is displayed:
Type of analysis: interactive or automatic
Default method of segmentation: manual, intermeans, Otsu or maxentropy
Boolean operation: "or" or "and". This selection determines whether a Boolean "or" or
"and" operation is performed for the masks calculated for the two
images. A mask includes all the pixel above the threshold.
Size of units to reshuffle: the width of units in pixel which are reshuffled in Costes randomization
Number of scramblings: how many times Costes randomization is performed
Confidence interval: the confidence limits calculated for the correlation coefficient assuming the absence of correlation after Costes randomization
Sigma of Gaussian: the SD of the Gaussian filter used for smoothing the images
Image type:
After pressing "OK" the user will have to select the images to be analyzed.
After pressing OK in the window above, the colocalization analysis is performed. A message is displayed in the Matlab command window and a TXT file is saved into the image folder. An exemplary text file is shown below.
Syntax: type processAllInDirForRConf at the Matlab command prompt. Optionally,
an output argument can be provided which will contain a Matlab
structure whose field names describe variables stored in them.
Requirement: The program requires DipImage, freely available for download at the following URL: http://www.diplib.org
Updating: The program checks for updates every time it is run. If an update is
available, the user will be asked to press the "Update" button.
