## Plugin description
 
 
<!-- Short description of goals of package, with descriptive links to the documentation website -->
 
 
Spot detector detects and counts spots.
 
 
- Detects spots in noisy images 2D/3D.
 
- Depending on objective, spots can be nuclei, nucleus or cell
 
- Versatile input: sequence or batch of file.
 
- Detects spot in specific band/channel.
 
- Multi band labeling: automaticaly creates ROIs from one band and count in the same or an other band.
 
- Filters detection by size.
 
- Sort detection by ROIs
 
- Output data in XLS Excel files: number of detection by ROIs, and each detection location and size.
 
- Outputs withness image with ROIs and detection painted on it.
 
- Outputs binary detection image.
 
- Displays detections
 
- Displays tags
 
A more detailed user documentation can be found on the Spot Detector documentation page on the Icy website: http://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/plugin/spot-detector/
