Median-based robust algorithms for tracing neurons from noisy confocal microscope images.

Median-based robust algorithms for tracing neurons from noisy confocal microscope images.

This paper presents a method to exploit rank statistics to improve fully automatic tracing of neurons from noisy digital confocal microscope images. Previously proposed exploratory tracing (vectorization) algorithms work by recursively following the neuronal topology, guided by responses of multiple...
