Saak Transform-Based Machine Learning for Light-Sheet Imaging of Cardiac Trabeculation

Objective: Recent advances in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) enable 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging of cardiac architecture and mechanics in toto. However, segmentation of the cardiac trabecular network to quantify cardiac injury remains a challenge. Methods: We hereby employed “subspace approximation with augmented kernels (Saak) transform” for accurate and efficient quantification of the light-sheet image stacks following...
