csv

results.csv

A csv file containing the overall analysis results for the input image or all inclusion ROIs.

csv

results_<xx>_<class-name>.csv

A csv file containing the analysis results for all detected objects of class number <xx> with label name <class-name> (in training data) in the input image or inclusion ROIs.

jpg

results_vis/<xx>_<class-name>_vis.jpg (2D image, no ROI), or

results_vis/<xx>_<class-name>_t<time-step>_z<z-layer>_c<channel>.jpg (for time series, z-stack, or multichannel image, no ROI), or

results_vis/<xx>_<class-name>_<roi-id>.jpg (2D image, ROI <roi-id>), or

results_vis/<xx>_<class-name>_t<time-step>_z<z-layer>_c<channel>_<roi-id>.jpg for time series, z-stack, or multichannel image, ROI <roi-id>):

A visualization of the analysis result for a specific time step (of a time series), z-layer (of a z-stack), or channel (of a multichannel image) for either the whole image (if no inclusion ROIs selected for analysis) or each individual inclusion ROI, for each class number <xx> with label name <class-name> (in training data).

Each visualization includes two parts:

• segmentation

  • predicted regions/objects areas are shown as an overlay in green color.

• objects

  • object instances are shown as an overlay in random color.

object instance index number corresponds to the object_id as listed in the results_<xx>_<class-name>.csv file.

json

roiMeta.json

A json file containing all information regarding the ROIs defined for the analysis job to ensure reproducibility. The file is empty if no ROIs were defined for analysis.

jpg

rois_visualization.jpg, or

t<time-step>_z<z-layer>_c<channel>_rois_visualization.jpg:

An overview visualization to show locations of all analyzed ROIs for the 2D image or time step <time-step> of a time series, z-layer <z-layer> of a z-stack, or channel <channel> of a multichannel image.

json

jobResultBundleMeta.json

A json file containing all information regarding the analysis job (application name and version, project, etc.) to ensure reproducibility.
