USAGE:
======
The package includes the following 4 (four) source files:

dicecolilendetect.m
preProIm_V5.m
Branch_pruning.m
adjacency_calc.m

and one example image file:

Dic_22_t00_r00_n00.tif

The code to run the program is "dicecolilendetect.m". Please edit the file to direct the program to the folder where your files are stored. The file naming scheme adopted by us is also in the example file supplied with the package "Dic_22_t00_r00_n00.tif". 

Please contact Chaitnaya Athale if you have any major problems with the algorithm at cathale@iiserpune.ac.in.
