Standard Workflow

Standard workflow for unwrapping 3D surfaces
Step 0: Segmenting a single cell from a volume image
Step 1: Find and create a genus-0 reference surface, \(S_{ref}(x,y,z)\)
Step 2: Quasi-conformal spherical parameterization of the genus-0 reference surface, \(S_{ref}(x,y,z)\)
Step 3: Quasi-equiareal spherical parameterization of a genus-0 surface, \(S_{\text{ref}}(x,y,z)\)
Step 4: UV mapping \(S_{ref}(x,y,z)\) into 2D using its spherical parameterization, \(S_{\text{ref}}^{\Omega}(x,y,z)\)
Step 5: Building the topographic \((d,u,v)\) space of \(S_{ref}(x,y,z)\)
Step 6: Compute topographic surface \(S(d,u,v)\) from topographic binary segmentation
Step 7: Flattening the topographic surface \(S(d,u,v)\) onto the 2D plane
