Automatic wavelet-based 3D nuclei segmentation and analysis for multicellular embryo quantification

Abstract Identification of individual cells in tissues, organs, and in various developing systems is a well-studied problem because it is an essential part of objectively analyzing quantitative images in numerous biological contexts. We developed a size-dependent wavelet-based segmentation method th...
