# ReScale4DL: Balancing Pixel and Contextual Information for Enhanced Bioimage Segmentation

[![Python 3.8+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.12-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

A systematic approach for determining optimal image resolution in deep learning-based microscopy segmentation, balancing accuracy with acquisition/storage costs. Following this approach, researchers can improve the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of bioimaging studies by reducing data and computing
needs while optimising microscopy techniques.

## Key Features
- **Resolution simulation**: Rescale images and their respective annotations (upsample and downsample)
- **Segmentation evaluation**: Compare performance across resolutions using:
- Mean Intersection-over-Union (IoU)
- Morphological features
- Potential throughput
- Personalised metrics
- **Visualization tools**: Generate comparative plots and sample outputs

## Installation

ReScale4DL is available as a Python package through pip.
Activate your conda environment or create one:
```terminal
conda create -n rescale4dl "python<=3.12"
conda activate rescale4dl
```

Install ReScale4DL with `pip`:

```terminal
pip install rescale4dl
```
