title: Visualization and interactive exploration of multidimensional confocal images.
abstract: A confocal image analysis system is developed for automatic extraction of surface representation of biological structures. A visualization system is also developed to manipulate these surface representations and to obtain morphometrical parameters and provides a powerful tool for biomedical research such as microstructural characterization, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, tissue organization, and embryo development.
