Benchmarking of deep learning algorithms for 3D instance segmentation of confocal image datasets
Fig 14
A confocal image is made up by scanning through each point on a 2D plane of an object.
The 3D confocal image is made up of such 2D frames stacked along the Z-axis. Using the 2D Z slices, a full 3D view of the object can be reconstructed. 2D, two-dimensional; 3D, two-dimensional.
