QuPath is open source software for whole slide image analysis and digital pathology.
QuPath has been developed as a research tool at Queen's University Belfast. It offers a wide range of functionality, including:
- extensive tools for annotation and visualization
- workflows for both IHC and H&E analysis
- novel algorithms for common tasks, e.g. cell segmentation, Tissue microarray dearraying
- interactive machine learning, e.g. for cell and texture classification
- an object-based hierarchical data model, with scripting support
- extensibility, to add new features or support for different image sources
- easy integration with other tools, e.g. MATLAB and ImageJ
All in all, QuPath aims to provide researchers with a new set of tools to help with bioimage analysis in a way that is both user- and developer-friendly.
