Although this task is often time-consuming and\nsubjective, it is still predominantly performed manually. The aim of the\npresent work is to provide a new tool to enumerate circular objects from\ndigital pictures and video streams. Here, I demonstrate that the created\nprogram, OpenCFU, is very robust, accurate and fast. In addition, it provides\ncontrol over the processing parameters and is implemented in an in- tuitive and\nmodern interface. OpenCFU is a cross-platform and open-source software freely\navailable at http://opencfu.sourceforge.net.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.5502v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1210.5502v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"opencfu-a-new-free-and-open-source-software","repo_url":"https://github.com/siubie/JudulLA-Skripsi2018","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
