Abstract:
With the fast advancement in imaging technology for biomedical studies, image processing is playing an increasingly important role in large-scale quantitative studies. This talk is to introduce an exciting application of image processing techniques in biomedical imaging: large-scale brain mapping. Techniques involved include blob segmentation for nuclei, tracing of line structures for processes of cells, tube segmentation for blood vessels, classification for labeling of the nuclei, and 3D registration of images to overcome the hardware limitation of the microscope.
