C-CRAFT

C-CRAFT software

Overview

The C-CRAFT software written
in C++ enables to segment particles and estimate background in 2D or 3D image sequences.

We consider a statistical Bayesian approach in the framework of conditional random fields. Within this approach, we take advantage of a robust detection measure for fluorescence microscopy based on the distribution of neighbor patch similarity. We formulate the vesicle segmentation and background estimation as a global energy minimization problem. An iterative scheme to jointly segment vesicles and background is proposed for 2D-3D fluorescence image sequences.
