We have modelled 3 stages of zebrafish larvae form axial views generated with our VAST-BioImager.

In order to obtain the models, we have used a Hybrid Segmentation method that we have developed to overcome segmentation errors that result from the application of standard methods. A summary of the method can be seen here [LINK].

The animations represents voxel models as they are reconstructed with our methods from profiles obtained from segmentations of axial-views.

The following animations illustrate three different models produces with our reconstruction methods.
The viewer can appriciate the correctness of the reconstruction for each of the larval stages.
