DeepNeuronSeg

DeepNeuronSeg is a full-stack, end-to-end machine learning pipeline designed for neuroimaging data analysis. This robust framework streamlines the entire workflow, from data preprocessing and augmentation to advanced neural network-based denoising and segmentation. With a focus on performance and ease of use, DeepNeuronSeg empowers researchers to efficiently analyze complex neuroimaging datasets and derive meaningful insights with minimal overhead and lightning fast speeds.

Installation Guide

Build from conda env (Recommended)

• Installation requirements
  • Python
  • Conda
  • Git
• Download the DeepNeuronSeg.yaml file anywhere on your computer
• In the terminal, navigate to the folder where the DeepNeuronSeg.yaml file is located
• run the command conda env create -f DeepNeuronSeg.yaml to download DeepNeuronSeg
• activate the environment with this command conda activate DEEPNEURONSEG
• launch the program with python -m DeepNeuronSeg
• relaunch with python -m DeepNeuronSeg
• if the environment is deactivated, reactivate with conda activate DEEPNEURONSEG and launch with python -m DeepNeuronSeg

Build From Source

• Installation requirements
  • Python
  • Git
• In terminal at desired location write commands:
  • mkdir test_folder
    • makes the desired directory for downloading the project
  • cd test_folder
    • navigates into the desired directory
  • Git clone https://github.com/josh-segal/DeepNeuronSeg.git
    • This downloads a copy of the project to your local computer
  • cd DeepNeuronSeg
    • This navigates into the DeepNeuronSeg project directory
  • python -m venv venv
    • This creates a python virtual environment to download all the dependencies for DeepNeuronSeg without conflict from your local system/downloads
  • venv/Scripts/activate (Windows) or source venv/bin/activate (MacOS)
    • This activates the virtual environment
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
    • This installs the dependencies required for DeepNeuronSeg
  • python -m DeepNeuronSeg
    • This launches the DeepNeuronSeg program, start exploring!
• To launch again navigate to DeepNeuronSeg directory and re-activate the virtual environment and use python -m DeepNeuronSeg
