### Other segmentation editor tools
310
+
311
+
We developed a segmentation editor tool in TrackMate, because we wanted it to be able to generate tracking ground-truth conveniently.
312
+
There are however many segmentation editors, not necessarily made for tracking, available in the domain of biological imaging.
313

We list some of them here:

- Imaris 'Surface' objects can be edited manually, as 2D and 3D meshes.
317

- Arivis can be used for manual correction or creation of segmentation masks

- I have a (somewhat) biased likeness for [Icy](https://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/). Its mask editor is super convenient, can work in 2D / 3D and over time, and has undo / redo. Check [the ROI cheat sheet](https://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/2021-04-23_icy-shortcuts_ROIcheatsheet.pdf)

- The UI of [QuPath](https://qupath.github.io/) is super convenient, and it also has undo / redo. The [brush tool](https://qupath.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/starting/annotating.html#brush-tool) is particularly useful.

-[Napari](https://napari.org/stable/) has a [label layer](https://napari.org/0.6.2/howtos/layers/labels.html) that can be used to edit manually a segmentation mask, as above.

- In ImageJ, Thierry Pécot created the [Annotater](https://github.com/tpecot/Annotater) plugin to facilitate the creation of Deep Learning models.
