Neuron detection in stack images: a persistent homology interpretation
Automation and reliability are the two main requirements when computers are applied in Life Sciences. In this paper we report on an application to neuron recognition, an important step in our long-term project of providing software systems to the study of neural morphology and functionality from biomedical images. Our algorithms have been implemented in an ImageJ plugin called NeuronPersistentJ, which has been validated experimentally. The soundness and reliability of our approach are based on the interpretation of our processing methods with respect to persistent homology, a well-known tool in computational mathematics.

Barcodes distinguish morphology of neuronal tauopathy
The geometry of neurons is known to be important for their functions. Hence, neurons are often classified by their morphology. Two recent methods, persistent homology and the topological morphology descriptor, assign a m…
Persistent Homology with Improved Locality Information for more Effective Delineation
Persistent Homology (PH) has been successfully used to train networks to detect curvilinear structures and to improve the topological quality of their results. However, existing methods are very global and ignore the loc…
Interpretable Phase Detection and Classification with Persistent Homology
We apply persistent homology to the task of discovering and characterizing phase transitions, using lattice spin models from statistical physics for working examples. Persistence images provide a useful representation of…

In this paper, three Computational Topology methods (namely effective homology, persistent homology and discrete vector fields) are mixed together to produce algorithms for homological digital image processing. The algor…
Topology Applied to Machine Learning: From Global to Local
Through the use of examples, we explain one way in which applied topology has evolved since the birth of persistent homology in the early 2000s. The first applications of topology to data emphasized the global shape of a…
