Component

neuTube is a collection of neuron reconstruction tools from fluorescence microscope images. It has an interactive system with a 3D viewer, which can be clicked in 3D and perform neuron tracing automatically and semi-automatically. It can automatically recognize branching points as junctions. Traced neurons can be exported to swc format, which could be imported by various software packages. neuTube has Win and Mac OS standalone executable builds and may also be installed by manual compilation. In addition, neuTube can be used as a plugin in Vaa3D.

The ICP algorithm takes two point clouds as an input and return the rigid transformation (rotation matrix R and translation vector T), that best aligns the point clouds. Example: [R,T] = icp(q,p,10); Aligns the points of p to the points q with 10 iterations of the algorithm. The transformation is then applied using R*p + repmat(T,1,length(p)); The file has implemented both point to point and point to plane as well as a couple of other features such as extrapolation, weighting functions, edge point rejection, etc.

This plugin applies the Hough Transform for Circles to an 8-Bit image, shows the resulting Hough Space in a new window and marks the centers of the found circles.

ABSnake can segment complex structures in 2D images as well as 3D or temporal images. It uses a new active contour model based on a geometrical approach for correctly following invaginated structures.
