Slideshow for Neuron Recognition by Parallel Potts Segmentation

Comparison of result of 3 neuron recognition methods on Healthy and AD brains


Note: Grayscal threshold in the simple method is 155 as 0 represents white and 255 represents black in this page.
Grayscale threshold would be (255-155)= 100 if "grayscale" representation is reversed.
