Neuro3d : An interactive 3D reconstruction system of serial sections using automatic registration. Presentación oral

Abstract

Three dimensional detailed visualization of neurons represents a source of valuable information when trying to understand integrative phenomena at cellular and circuital levels in neurobiology. We describe a low cost system built by an interdisciplinary team for 3D reconstruction of slices observed through a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). We have developed and tested a completely automatic registration method which combines local histogram equalization with correlation in multi-resolution. This method gives very good experimental results in real images without being very time consuming neither needing dedicated hardware. The diferent parts of the system are brie
