Segmentation Data Selection ​

Select the segmented image stack to convert into a 3D mesh. Use results from segmentation inference or annotation masks.

Compatible Data Sources ​

  • Segmentation Results: Output from U-Net inference (Recent Results section)

  • Annotation Masks: Completed annotations from the Annotation Tool

  • Uploaded Files: Any labeled integer TIFF stack

File Requirements ​

  • Format: Multi-page TIFF (.tif, .tiff)

  • Pixel Values: Integer class labels (0 = background, non-zero = classes)

  • Data Type: An integer type - uint8, uint16, uint32, int8, int16, or int32. The data is used as-is; no bit-depth conversion is applied.

Validation ​

When you select a file, it is checked before you can continue. A file is rejected if:

  • No class labels can be read from it

  • Only background is present (no object classes)

  • More than 50 unique values are found (this looks like raw image data, not discrete labels)

  • The data type is not one of the supported integer types

If a freshly uploaded file fails these checks, it is automatically removed from your workspace so it does not clutter the file list.

Class Detection ​

The system automatically detects the unique class values in your data. In the next step you can generate meshes for all classes at once or for a single class.

Note: Background pixels (value 0) are excluded from mesh generation. Only non-zero class values produce surfaces.
