Fast Segmentation from Blurred Data in 3D Fluorescence Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Martin Kurt Storath

We develop a fast algorithm for segmenting 3D images from linear measurements based on the Potts model (or piecewise constant Mumford-Shah model). To that end, we first derive suitable space discretizations of the 3D Potts model, which are capable of deali ...
