Background:

Analyzing neuronal morphology is crucial for understanding brain function.
Current methods for neuronal reconstruction often involve manual or semi-automatic processes, leading to subjectivity and inefficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated pipeline for the detection, modeling, and digital reconstruction of neuronal morphology.
To improve the accuracy and reduce variability in neuronal tracing compared to existing methods.

Main Methods:

An unsupervised object detection framework using stochastic marked point process for neurite extraction.
Semantic modeling to generate morphological descriptors (e.g., branching index, neurite length).
Fast marching methods and minimum spanning trees for robust digital reconstruction in SWC format.

Main Results:

The pipeline accurately detects and models neuronal networks, extracting position, width, and orientation information.
Generated descriptors enable statistical inference on neuronal features.
The digital reconstruction captures essential connectivity and shape information.

Conclusions:

The automated pipeline offers a significant advancement in analyzing neuronal morphology.
It outperforms state-of-the-art methods in tracing accuracy and minimizes reconstruction variability.
The standardized SWC format facilitates data sharing and further analysis in neuroimaging.
