Coherent temporal extrapolation of labeled images

In developmental imaging, 3D+t series of microscopic images allow to follow the organism development at the cell level and have now became the standard way of imaging the development of living organs. Dedicated tools for cell segmentation in 3D images as well as cell lineage calculation from 3D+t sequences have been proposed to analyze these data. For some applications, it may be desirable to interpolate label images at intermediary time-points. However, the known methods do not allow to locally handle the topological changes (ie cell. division). In the present work, we propose an extrapolation method that coherently deformed the label images to be interpolated.
