The software can analyze a real confocal stack to\nderivate noise parameters and will use them directly to generate new images\nwith similar noise characteristics. Such synthetic images can then be used to\nassert the quality and robustness of an image analysis pipeline, as well as be\nused to train machine-learning image analysis procedures. We illustrate the\napproach with closed curves corresponding to the microtubule ring present in\nblood platelet.
