Abstract:
We present a novel approach for automated detection of neuron somata. A three-step processing pipeline is described on the example of confocal image stacks of NeuN-stained neurons from rat somato-sensory cortex. It results in a set of position landmarks, representing the midpoints of all neuron somata. In the first step, foreground and background pixels are identified, resulting in a binary image. It is based on local thresholding and compensates for imaging and staining artifacts. Once this pre...     »
