Proc Int Conf Biomed Eng Inform. 2010 Oct 18:1:213-217. doi: 10.1109/BMEI.2010.5639445.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a stable, reliable and robust method for reconstructing a three dimensional density function from a set of two dimensional electron microscopy images. By minimizing an energy functional consisting of a fidelity term and a regularization term, a L(2)-gradient flow is derived. The flow is integrated by a finite element method in the spatial direction and an explicit Euler scheme in temporal direction. The experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient and effective.
