🚧 Under Development

This project is still in an alpha stage. Expect rapid changes, incomplete features, and possible breaking updates between releases.

• The API may evolve as we stabilize core functionality.
• Documentation and examples are incomplete.
• Feedback and bug reports are especially valuable at this stage.

napari-FlowReg

This repository contains the napari wrapper for the Flow-Registration toolbox, which is a toolbox for the compensation and stabilization of multichannel microscopy videos. The publication for this toolbox can be found here and the project website with video results here.

• ImageJ/Fiji plugin: https://github.com/FlowRegSuite/flow_registration_IJ

Installation via pip and conda

To install the plugin via conda, you can create a new environment and install napari along with the plugin:

conda create -n flowreg -c conda-forge python=3.12.0 napari

You can then install napari-flowreg via [pip]:

pip install napari[all] napari-flowreg

or from the directly from the GitHub repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/flowregsuite/napari-flowreg.git

Dataset

The dataset which we used for our evaluations is available as 2-Photon Movies with Motion Artifacts.
