CellProfiler roadmap - CellProfiler/CellProfiler GitHub Wiki

We released CellProfiler 4.0!

The changes in this overhaul are described in a blog post. Meanwhile, CellProfiler is cited in well over 5,000 scientific papers!

Here is a sampling of what might be up next:

Future Directions

  • Expanded support for tissue sections and other large image types.
  • Revise the input modules.
  • Unify ExportToDatabase and ExportToSpreadsheet into a single, better export module.
  • Continuing to add 3D support to various CellProfiler modules.
  • Overhauling the internal analysis worker system.
  • Replacement of Centrosome with scikit-image methods.
  • Migrate from Bio-Formats towards imageio.
  • Introduction and expansion of a stable API with the cellprofiler-core module.

Projects distinct from CellProfiler

We’re also working on new applications and libraries:

  • Piximi, an image annotation and machine learning classification app.
  • Cytominer, an R package for mining perturbations.
  • Keras-ResNet, state-of-the-art convolutional feature extraction.
  • Keras-RCNN, state-of-the-art image segmentation and object detection models.
  • Skopy, a fast and simple alternative to CellProfiler.
