A novel method for identifying a graph-based representation of 3-D microvascular networks from fluorescence microscopy image stacks
Graph-based model estimation of 3D non-tree microvasculature structures. The model represents piece-wise linear approximation of the vessel centerlines. Vertices represent vessel junctions or locations of high curvature. Edges are found via a BIP problem whose utility function reflects image structure.
