Active contour models for yeast cell segmentation
Kristian Bredies and Heimo Wolinski
The goal is to obtain cell-based quantitative information about the lipid droplets from the fluorescence images. However, the necessary information about the cell boundaries is only present in the 2D transmission images which exhibit a strongly heterogeneous structure. This causes standard thresholding-based methods to fail. The objective is to develop a cell segmentation strategy which is suitable for this class of images.
