cellects.core.cellects_threads
Cellects GUI module implementing threaded image/video analysis workflows.
This module provides a Qt-based interface for analyzing biological motion and growth through color space combinations, segmentation strategies, arena delineation, and video processing. Uses QThreaded workers to maintain UI responsiveness during computationally intensive tasks like segmentation, motion tracking, network detection, oscillation and fractal analysis.
Main Components LoadDataToRunCellectsQuicklyThread : Loads necessary data asynchronously for quick Cellects execution. FirstImageAnalysisThread : Analyzes first image with automatic color space selection and segmentation. LastImageAnalysisThread : Processes last frame analysis for optimized color space combinations. CropScaleSubtractDelineateThread : Handles cropping, scaling, and arena boundary detection. VideoTrackingThread : Performs complete motion analysis on a single arena or full batch analysis across multiple arenas/experiments.
Notes Uses QThread for background operations to maintain UI responsiveness. Key workflows include automated color space optimization, adaptive segmentation algorithms, multithreaded video processing, and arena delineation via geometric analysis or manual drawing. Implements special post-processing for Physarum polycephalum network detection and oscillatory activity tracking.

run_one_arena()
Run analysis on one arena.
This method prepares and initiates the analysis process for a video by setting up required folders, loading necessary data, and performing pre-processing steps. It manages the state of running analysis and handles memory allocation for efficient processing.
Notes
- This method uses threading to handle long-running operations without blocking the main UI.
- The memory allocation is dynamically adjusted based on available system resources.

self.parent().po.first_exp_ready_to_run |
bool
|
Boolean indicating if the first experiment is ready to run. |
self.parent().po.cores |
int
|
Number of cores available for processing. |

Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
FileNotFoundError
|
If an image file specified in |
OSError
|
If there is an issue writing to disk, such as when the disk is full. |
Notes
This function manages video writing in batches, checking available memory and handling errors related to file sizes or missing images

set_current_folder(exp_i=1)
Sets the current folder based on conditions.
This method determines which folder to use and updates the current folder ID accordingly. If there are multiple folders, it uses the first folder from the list; otherwise, it uses a reduced global pathway as the current.

WriteVideoThread
Bases: QThread
Thread for writing one video per arena in the current folder.
Notes
This class uses QThread to manage the process asynchronously.
Source code in src/cellects/core/cellects_threads.py

Initialize the worker thread for writing the video corresponding to the current arena
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
parent
|
QObject
|
The parent object of this thread instance. In use, an instance of CellectsMainWidget class. Default is None. |
None

Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
self
|
object
|
The instance of the class containing this method. |
required |
Other Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
arena |
str
|
