Joint volumetric extraction and enhancement of vasculature from low-SNR 3-D fluorescence microscopy images

作者：

Highlights：

• We introduce intensity-based features to directly segment artifacted images of vasculature.

• The segmentation method is shown to be robust to non-uniform illumination and noise of mixed type.

• This method is free of a priori statistical and geometrical assumptions.
