Documentation
This protocol was designed to to automatically detect the tissue mimics, imaged in 3D with an LSFM modality, and to crop a 3D sub-volume centered on it.
This protocols takes a 3D sequence as input. To detect the tissue mimics, it blurs a rescaled version of the image, apply an automatic threshold to segment the tissue mimics from the background and use connected components to obtain one single ROI delimiting the whole tissue mimics. It then crops the original image using a rescaled version of that ROI.
