Overview

SIMA (Sequential IMage Analysis) is an Open Source package for analysis of time-series imaging data arising from fluorescence microscopy. The functionality of this package includes:

  • correction of motion artifacts

  • segmentation of imaging fields into regions of interest (ROIs)

  • extraction of dynamic signals from ROIs

The included ROI Buddy software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) supporting the following functionality:

  • manual creation of ROIs

  • editing of ROIs resulting from automated segmentation

  • registration of ROIs across separate imaging sessions

Installation and Use

For complete documentation go to <http://www.losonczylab.org/sima>

Dependencies

Optional dependencies

  • OpenCV >= 2.4.8, required for segmentation, registration of ROIs across multiple datasets, and the ROI Buddy GUI

  • h5py >= 2.2.1 (2.3.1 recommended), required for HDF5 file format

  • bottleneck >=0.8, for faster calculations

  • matplotlib >= 1.2.1, for saving extraction summary plots

  • mdp, required for ICA demixing of channels

If you build the package from source, you may also need:
