SKOOTS: Skeleton oriented object segmentation for mitochondria.The segmentation of individual instances of mitochondria from imaging datasets is informative, yet time-consuming to do by hand, sparking interest in developing automated algorithms using deep neural networks.  To rectify this, we have developed sk eleton o riented o bjec t s egmentation (SKOOTS); a new segmentation approach which efficiently handles large, densely packed mitochondria.  We show that SKOOTS can accurately, and efficiently, segment 3D mitochondria in previously difficult situations.
