merquaco.experiment.Experiment.get_transcript_density

static Experiment.get_transcript_density(transcripts_image_input: ndarray | str | Path, transcripts_mask_input: ndarray | str | Path)

Calculates transcript density per on-tissue micron

Parameters:

• transcripts_image_input (np.ndarray, str, or Path) – Array of or path to transcripts image.

• transcripts_mask_input (np.ndarray, str, or Path) – Array of or path to binary transcripts mask.

Returns:

transcript_density_um2 – Number of transcripts per on-tissue micron

Return type:

float
