Robustness of the Rodscule in the prescence of noise. The top-left image shows the initial configuration of the rodscule before triggering the optimization for cell segmentation. In the remaining images the additive white noise was successively augmented. Its standard deviations are {10, 30, 60, 90, 120} and the corresponding SNR is equal to {26.2, 16.8, 11.1, 7.6, 5.3} dB.
