MATLAB code for segmenting, quantifying, and analyzing stained microscopy images
We are now working on TMA (for european grant) and we are using TMA_MIAQuant_Learn
In the repo you find also the code for nuclei segmentation (codiceMatlab20190216_BestPerf). This code should be re-implemented by using Python for reducing the STRESS computational load

MIAQuant_Learn has the extended feature of color learning
