Resynthesis of Biological Images from Tree-Structured Decomposition Data

Abstract
In this paper we are simultaneously concerned with methods for decomposing grey scale microscope images and with methods for verifying the correctness of these decompositions. One such method is resynthesis. Resynthesis is viewed as a procedure whereby an analyzed scene can be reconstituted and subjected to an analysis by human (informal) methods to determine the information preservation of the process. Several algorithms are presented for different ways of resynthesizing a decomposed image from its morphological decomposition analysis.
