APP2: automatic tracing of 3D neuron morphology based on hierarchical pruning of a gray-weighted image distance-tree
MOTIVATION Tracing of neuron morphology is an essential technique in computational neuroscience. However, despite a number of existing methods, few open-source techniques are completely or sufficiently automated and at the same time are able to generate robust results for real 3D microscopy images. RESULTS We developed all-path-pruning 2.0 (APP2) for 3D neuron tracing. The most important idea...
متن کاملAutomatic 3D neuron tracing using all-path pruning
MOTIVATION Digital reconstruction, or tracing, of 3D neuron structures is critical toward reverse engineering the wiring and functions of a brain. However, despite a number of existing studies, this task is still challenging, especially when a 3D microscopic image has low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and fragmented neuron segments. Published work can handle these hard situations only by introduc...
متن کاملIncorporate Deep-Transfer-Learning into Automatic 3D Neuron Tracing
Automated neuron tracing from microscopic images enables high-throughput quantitative analysis of neuronal morphology to elucidate functions of neural circuits. We have developed a transfer-learning approach that trains a deep convolutional neural network to trace neurons in 3D image stacks. Our neural network model consists of two major components. One is responsible for detecting foreground, ...
متن کاملA novel three-stage distance-based consensus ranking method
In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...
متن کاملTubularity Flow Field - A Technique for Automatic Neuron Segmentation
A segmentation framework is proposed to trace neurons from confocal microscopy images. With an increasing demand for high throughput neuronal image analysis, we propose an automated scheme to perform segmentation in a variational framework. Our segmentation technique, called tubularity flow field (TuFF) performs directional regional growing guided by the direction of tubularity of the neurites....
