Rapid reconstruction of 3D neuronal morphology from light microscopy images with augmented rayburst sampling.

Digital reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) neuronal morphology from light microscopy images provides a powerful technique for analysis of neural circuits. It is time-consuming to manually perform this process. Thus, efficient computer-assisted approaches are preferable. In this paper, we prese...
