ClearMap is a toolbox for the analysis and registration of volumetric data from cleared tissues.

It was initially developed to map brain activity at cellular resolution in whole mouse brains using immediate early gene expression. It has since then been extended as a tool for the qunatification of whole mouse brain vascualtur networks at capilary resolution.

It is composed of sevral specialized modules or scripts: tubemap, cellmap, WobblyStitcher.

ClearMap has been designed to analyze O(TB) 3d datasets obtained via light sheet microscopy from iDISCO+ cleared tissue samples immunolabeled for proteins. The ClearMap tools may also be useful for data obtained with other types of microscopes, types of markers, clearing techniques, as well as other species, organs, or samples.

Blood vessels tracing in 3D image from 3D Gaussian blurring (user defined radius), local thresholding (user defined radius and offset) and 3D skeletonization. Dockerized version for BIAFLOWS,

Blood vessels tracing in 3D image from Tubeness filtering (user defined scale), 3D opening (radius set to 2), thresholding (user defined level) and 3D skeletonization.

VascuSynth is an ITK-based synthetic image generator. It synthesizes volumetric images of vascular trees and generates a .gxl file of the ground-truth tree structure. VascuSynth receives a number of .txt configuration files and is capable of generating both ground truth ('ideal') images and images with added noise. The user is capable of choosing from a set simple noise additions and artefacts.

This workflow describes a semi-automatic image segmentation procedure for 3D reconstructions of the coronary arterial tree, after which how different morphometric features are automatically extracted, including vessel lumen diameter of the three main coronaries.
