Dendritic Spine

Description

Spine Analyzer allows to semi-automatically segment dendritic spines in 3D+t images and to measure their volumes and the intensities of the signal within in different channels over time.

Description

We propose to use a kernel density estimation (KDE) based approach for classification. This non-parametric approach intrinsically provides the likelihood of membership for each class in a principled manner. The implementation was used in Ghani2016. Any papers using this code should cite Ghani2016 accordingly. The software has been tested under Matlab R2013b.
