Fig. 5From: Image analysis driven single-cell analytics for systems microbiologyDistance transform. a Cell object depicted in 3D; the image pixel intensities are shown in the z-axis. b Same object's distance transform in 3D; the distance values are shown in the z-axis. It is obvious that the distance transform [40] smoothens object abnormalities while sharpening the valley between the two cells comprising the cell objectBack to article page
