What can I find here?

This pipeline is dedicated to coregister 3D neuronal morphology traced in Neurolucida into the Allen atlas, making use of 2d-sections from which it was traced.

The pipeline consists of several steps:

- neuron and image preprocessing;

- projection of neuron-points into pixel coordinates in the associated experimental slice;

- QuickNII mapping between the atlas and the experimental slice;

-  Elastix coregistration of images and, consequently, neuron-points;

- linear mapping of the reconstructed neuron into the original shape;

- evaluation of the reconstructed neuron by comparison with the same neuron coregistered with a corresponding point technique, and with the ground truth extracted by the neuroanatomist.

The code, intermediate and final results are stored in this collection.

For whom is this interesting?
