MeshMonk: Open-source large-scale intensive 3D phenotyping. JD White, A Ortega-Castrillón, H Matthews et al.

Date: April 2019. Source: Scientific Reports 9, 6085. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-42533-y. Abstract: Dense surface registration, commonly used in computer science, could aid the biological sciences in accurate and comprehensive quantification of biological phenotypes. However, few toolboxes exist that are openly available, non-expert friendly, and validated in a way relevant to biologists. Here, we report a customizable toolbox…
