Introduction

cellfinder is software from the Margrie Lab at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for automated 3D cell detection and registration of whole-brain images (e.g. serial two-photon or lightsheet imaging).
The underlying cell detection algorithm is available for use (e.g. for use with other types of data) as a Python package (cellfinder-core) or as a Napari plugin. 
Detected labelled cells, overlaid on a segmented coronal brain section
cellfinder can:
Detect labelled cells in 3D in whole-brain images (many hundreds of GB)
Register the image to an atlas (such as the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas)
Segment the brain based on the reference atlas
Calculate the volume of each brain area, and the number of labelled cells within it
Transform everything into standard space for analysis and visualisation
