Skeletonization of neuronal processes using Discrete Morse techniques from computational topology

Samik Banerjee, Caleb Stam, Daniel J. Tward +3

To understand biological intelligence we need to map neuronal networks in vertebrate brains. Mapping mesoscale neural circuitry is done using injections of tracers that label group…

Moment kernels: a simple and scalable approach for equivariance to rotations and reflections in deep convolutional networks

Siqi Fang, Zachary Schlamowitz, Andrew Bennecke +1

Translation equivariance is a central reason convolutional neural networks have been successful in computer vision. Other symmetries, such as rotations and reflections, are similar…

On variational solutions for whole brain serial-section histology using the computational anatomy random orbit model

Brian C. Lee, Daniel J. Tward, Partha P. Mitra +1

This paper presents a variational framework for dense diffeomorphic atlas-mapping onto high-throughput histology stacks at the 20 um meso-scale. The observed sections are modelled…
