However, locating somas from large-scale and complicated datasets is challenging. The challenges primarily originate from the dense distribution of somas, the diversity of soma sizes and the inhomogeneity of image contrast.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We proposed a novel localization method based on density-peak clustering. In this method, we introduced two quantities (the local density \u03c1 of each voxel and its minimum distance \u03b4 from voxels of higher density) to describe the soma imaging signal, and developed an automatic algorithm to identify the soma positions from the feature space (\u03c1, \u03b4). Compared with other methods focused on high local density, our method allowed the soma center to be characterized by high local density and large minimum distance. The simulation results indicated that our method had a strong ability to locate the densely positioned somas and strong robustness of the key parameter for the localization. From the analysis of the experimental datasets, we demonstrated that our method was effective at locating somas from large-scale and complicated datasets, and was superior to current state-of-the-art methods for the localization of densely positioned somas.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our method effectively located somas from large-scale and complicated datasets. Furthermore, we demonstrated the strong robustness of the key parameter for the localization and its effectiveness at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level. Thus, the method provides an effective tool for the neuroscience community to quantify the spatial distribution of neurons and the morphologies of somas.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-016-1252-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]],"date-time":"2016-09-15T00:43:07Z","timestamp":1473900187000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Large-scale localization of touching somas from 3D images using density-peak clustering"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Shenghua","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tingwei","family":"Quan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Xiaomao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Shaoqun","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1252_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cub.2010.11.056","volume":"21","author":"AS Chiang","year":"2011","unstructured":"Chiang AS, Lin CY, Chuang CC, Chang HM, Hsieh CH, Yeh CW, et al.
