Abstract
This paper provides a fully automated method of finding high-quality seed points in 3D space from a stack of images of neuron cells. These seed points may then be used as initial starting points for automated local tracing algorithms, removing a time consuming required user interaction in current methodologies. Methods to collapse the search space and provide rudimentary topology estimates are also presented.
