Quick Start

Build your first image analysis pipeline in 5 minutes.

Step 1: Add an Image Reader

  1. Press Ctrl+F to open the Node Explorer search, or right-click on the canvas
  2. Search for "Image Reader"
  3. Double-click or drag to place the node on the canvas
  4. In the node's properties, click Browse to select an image file

Step 2: Apply a Filter

  1. Add a Gaussian Blur node (Ctrl+F → search "Gaussian")
  2. Connect the image output of Image Reader to the image input of Gaussian Blur
  3. Adjust the Sigma property to control blur strength

Making connections

Click and drag from an output port (right side) to an input port (left side). Ports are color-coded by data type.

Step 3: Threshold the Image

  1. Add a Binary Threshold node
  2. Connect the Gaussian Blur output to it
  3. Adjust the threshold value

Step 4: Measure Objects

  1. Add a Particle Props node
  2. Connect the Binary Threshold mask output to the mask input
  3. Optionally connect the original image to the image input (for intensity measurements)

Step 5: Run the Pipeline

Click Run Graph in the toolbar or press Ctrl+W.

The pipeline executes node by node. Results appear:

  • Table output — connect to a Data Table Node to view inline
  • Figure output — connect to a Data Figure Node to view plots

Step 6: Save Your Workflow

Use Ctrl+S to save the workflow as a .json file. Reopen it later to continue where you left off.
