The Data Sets - Olfactory Projection Fibers
Folder Contents:
This is 1 of the 6 data sets used for DIADEM.
This data set consists of 9 separate drosophila olfactory axonal projection image stacks, each with a corresponding gold standard reconstruction.
During the DIADEM Grand Challenge Competition: ‘OP_1’ through ‘OP_3’ were used for the Training Round, ‘OP_4’ through ‘OP_6’ for the Qualifier Round, and ‘OP_7’ through ‘OP_9’ for the Final Round.
Experimental Procedures:

Z distance between successive images within an image stack: 3.03 pixels
Download Instructions:
1. Download and extract 'Olfactory Projection Fibers.rar'.
2. Folder will contain 2 subfolders: 'Image Stacks' and 'Gold Standard
Reconstructions'.
3. 'Image Stacks' folder will contain 9 subfolders: ‘OP_1’ through ‘OP_9’.
4. 'Gold Standard Reconstructions' contains manually or semi-manually traced digital reconstructions ‘OP_1’ through ‘OP_9’. Each SWC file was traced in 3D using the image stack to which its name corresponds.
5. SWC files will align properly with their corresponding image stack when loaded into software that uses pixel-based coordinates, such as ImageJ or Neuromantic.
6. Each image stack contains only 1 axonal arbor to be traced.
7. Image stacks may contain other overlapping structures that should not be traced.
8. Starting coordinates are given below that clearly mark the root of the correct arbor to reconstruct.
9. Special note for this data set: External branches (i.e. branches that end in a termination) with path lengths of less than 6 pixels will be ignored when using the DIADEM metric. Thus, they can be traced or ignored without affecting the DIADEM metric score, provided that the traced branches remain less than 6 pixels in length.
10. Special note for this data set: Unlike other data sets, for some (but not all) image stacks, image file names were not padded with zeros. Regardless, Neuromantic loads all images in their correct image stack order.
Gold standard reconstruction ‘OP_1’ (light blue) is superimposed and offset (for visualization purposes) over its corresponding image stack. Arrow (red) points to the root of the reconstruction.
