3D neuron tip detection in volumetric microscopy images using an adaptive ray-shooting model

作者：

Highlights：

• An automated 3D neuron tips detection method is proposed for volumetric images.

• A ray-shooting model is used to analyze the intensity distribution of tip points.

• The length of the rays can change adaptively by Multistencils Fast Marching Method.
