Candidate Sampling for Neuron Reconstruction From Anisotropic Electron Microscopy Volumes
Springer: International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, 2014.
The automatic reconstruction of neurons from stacks of electron microscopy sections is an important computer vision problem in neuroscience. Recent advances are based on a two step approach: First, a set of possible 2D neuron candidates is generated for each section independently based on membrane predictions of a local classifier. Second, the candidates of all sections of the stack are fed to a neuron tracker that selects and connects them in 3D to yield a reconstruction. The accuracy of the result is currently ...
