pAPRica

Welcome to pAPRica (pipelines for Adaptive Particle Representation image compositing and analysis), a package based on the Adaptive Particle Representation (APR) to accelerate image processing and research involving imaging and microscopy.

pAPRica is built on top of:

  • LibAPR: the C++ backbone library
  • pyapr: a python wrapper for LibAPR including unique features

Briefly, pAPRica allows to accelerate processing of volumetric image data while lowering the hardware requirements. It is made of several independent modules that are tailored to convert, stitch, segment, map to an atlas and visualize data. pAPRica can work as a postprocessing tool and is also compatible with real time usage during acquisitions, enabling minimal lead time between imaging and analysis.

Tutorials and reference documentation is available at WyssCenter.github.io/pAPRica/.

Requirements

The software should run on any operating system and python version 3.7 or higher. It is recommended that the system RAM is at least 3 times the size of a single tile, to allow voxels-to-APR conversion without decomposition of the input images.
