Cross-correlated number time-series calculations for every image in a folder.

Perform cc_number_timeseries() calculations on all tif images in a folder and save the resulting images to disk.

cc_number_timeseries_folder(
  folder_path = ".",
  frames_per_set,
  overlap = FALSE,
  ch1 = 1,
  ch2 = 2,
  thresh = NULL,
  detrend = FALSE,
  quick = FALSE,
  filt = NULL,
  parallel = FALSE
)

Arguments

folder_path	The path (relative or absolute) to the folder you wish to process.
frames_per_set	The number of frames with which to calculate the successive cross-correlated numbers. This may discard some images, for example if 175 frames are in the input and frames_per_set = 50, then the last 25 are discarded. If bleaching or/and thresholding are selected, they are performed on the whole image stack before the sectioning is done for calculation of cross-correlated numbers.
overlap	A boolean. If TRUE, the windows used to calculate brightness are overlapped, if FALSE, they are not. For example, for a 20-frame image series with 5 frames per set, if the windows are not overlapped, then the frame sets used are 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20; whereas if they are overlapped, the frame sets are 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 and so on up to 16-20.
ch1	A natural number. The index of the first channel to use.
ch2	A natural number. The index of the second channel to use.
thresh	Do you want to apply an intensity threshold prior to calculating cross-correlated number (via autothresholdr::mean_stack_thresh())? If so, set your thresholding method here. If this is a single value, that same threshold will be applied to both channels. If this is a length-2 vector or list, then these two thresholds will be applied to channels 1 and 2 respectively. A value of NA for either channel gives no thresholding for that channel.
detrend	Detrend your data with detrendr::img_detrend_rh(). This is the best known detrending method for brightness analysis. For more fine-grained control over your detrending, use the detrendr package. To detrend one channel and not the other, specify this as a length 2 vector.
quick	FALSE repeats the detrending procedure (which has some inherent randomness) a few times to hone in on the best detrend. TRUE is quicker, performing the routine only once. FALSE is better.
filt	Do you want to smooth (filt = 'smooth') or median (filt = 'median') filter the cross-correlated number image using smooth_filter() or median_filter() respectively? If selected, these are invoked here with a filter radius of 1 and with the option na_count = TRUE. A value of NA for either channel gives no thresholding for that channel. If you want to smooth/median filter the cross-correlated number image in a different way, first calculate the cross-correlated numbers without filtering (filt = NULL) using this function and then perform your desired filtering routine on the result.
parallel	Would you like to use multiple cores to speed up this function? If so, set the number of cores here, or to use all available cores, use parallel = TRUE.
