SpaceTrooper performs Quality Control analysis of Image-Based spatial


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

SpaceTrooper performs Quality Control analysis using data driven GLM models of Image-Based spatial data, providing exploration plots, QC metrics computation, outlier detection. It implements a GLM strategy for the detection of low quality cells in imaging-based spatial data (Transcriptomics and Proteomics). It additionally implements several plots for the visualization of imaging based polygons through the ggplot2 package.
