Bio-EdIP is a friendly GUI developed in MATLAB® 2012a software. Bio-EdIP segments cell-free regions (background), detecting indirectly those regions covered by cells. It therefore allows a quantitative analysis of cell confluence levels using in vitro culture images, including but not limited to wound healing, scattered, and seeded cells.
Bio-EdIP does not require MATLAB but it runs using Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR v.7.8).
To download the compiled application go to https://be.itm.edu.co/ and follow the instruction below.
To make use of Bio-EdIP, please download “Bio-EdIP_User Manual 2017.pdf” and follow the instructions for downloading and installing Bio-EdIP.
To run Bio-EdIP, Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR v.7.8) is needed. This program is included when installing “Bio-EdIP.rar”. One can also install “Bio-EdIP (without MCR).rar”, if MCR is already installed in you computer.
Please note that Bio-EdIP user manual includes examples of use and a benchmark of annotated data. Example images and annotated data can be downloaded as well (“Constructed datasets.rar”).
