copick process seg-stats

utils

Analyze connected component sizes per label in segmentations.

Plugin command — copick-utils

This command is provided by the copick-utils plugin, not copick core. Install it to make this command available:

pip install copick-utils

See the plugin system guide for details.

Usage

copick process seg-stats [OPTIONS]

Description

This command identifies connected components in a segmentation and reports the volume of each component (in voxels and cubic angstroms), grouped by label. Output can be a CSV file or a histogram plot, and you can choose the voxel connectivity (face, face-edge, or all) used to define components.

URI Format

Segmentations: name:user_id/session_id@voxel_spacing
Voxel spacing is optional — omit to match all voxel spacings.

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`-c, --config`	path	—	Path to the configuration file.
`--debug / --no-debug`	boolean flag	`False`	Enable debug logging.

Input Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`--run-names, -r`	text · multiple	—	Specific run names to process (default: all runs).
`--input, -i`	COPICK_URI	required	Input segmentation URI (format: name:user_id/session_id@voxel_spacing). Supports glob patterns.

Tool Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`--connectivity, -cn`	choice (face \| face-edge \| all)	`all`	Connectivity for connected components (face=6-connected, face-edge=18-connected, all=26-connected).
`--include-background / --no-include-background`	boolean flag	`True`	Include background (label=0) connected component analysis in CSV output. Background components are never included in plots.
`--workers, -w`	integer	`8`	Number of worker processes.

Output Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`--output-format, -f`	choice (csv \| plot)	`csv`	Output format: 'csv' for tabular data, 'plot' for a histogram.
`--output-path, -op`	path	required	Output file path. For plots, format is inferred from extension (.html, .png, .pdf, .svg).

Examples

# Export component stats as CSV
copick process seg-stats -i "membrane:user1/auto-001@10.0" -f csv -op ./membrane_stats.csv

# Analyze without specifying voxel spacing (matches all)
copick process seg-stats -i "proofread:napari/manual" -f csv -op ./stats.csv

# Create a histogram plot as HTML (interactive)
copick process seg-stats -i "membrane:user1/auto-001@10.0" -f plot -op ./membrane_hist.html

# Create a histogram plot as PDF
copick process seg-stats -i "organelle:user1/pred@10.0" -f plot -op ./organelle_hist.pdf

# Analyze specific runs and export as PNG
copick process seg-stats -i "membrane:user1/auto-001@10.0" -f plot -op ./stats.png -r run1 -r run2
