Contents Analyzing the 3d image Problem Idea of implementation Work done so far

Analyzing the 3d Image 1.Basically the 3d image is stack of the images arranged frame by frame 2.So we can analyze the 3d image structure by studying the layer by layer which can give a better view of segmentation with at most accuracy.

Problem Segmentation of the nuclei from 3d image. Segment the nucleolus and heterochromatin from the extracted nucleus. Calculating the volume, area and density of nucleolus and heterochromatin

Idea of Segmentation-Manual The segmentation of the image is based on frame by frame. Each frame is loaded and then segmentation of the each layer is extracted using the wand tool and then stored as array When all the layer are merged together and then it would result in a well structured 3d segmented nucleus.

Segmented Image Layer By Layer

Segmented Image In 3D

Idea of Segmentation-Automated Select the seed point and then based on that seed point the region is grown. The region is achieved based on the threshold value. Once the region is achieved then its separated and same process is repeated for the remaining layers.

Idea of Segmentation-Automated All the separated regions together form the well defined 3d segmented stack.

Algorithm and steps followed So after every iteration the output is moved to stack where all the segmented nucleus from each layer is present

Work done so far We have done the work manually where we have segmented the layer by layer and then we are trying to automate the same. We have selected a selected a seed point and then able to grow the region based on the threshold value for one layer Next task is automate this process for the remaining layers of the image

Modules and sample code Selecting the seed point Add the segmented layers into a stack Once the stack is formed then calculate the volume and density SAMPLE CODE: int nSeeds = (int)IJ.getNumber("Number of Regions/Seeds", 1); SeedGenerator sg = new SeedGenerator(ip); sg.selectSeedsManu ally(imp, nSeeds );
