The algorithm successfully detects stereocilia bundles in 2D across successive frames, assigning unique IDs to each detected object within the 2D plane (left). The variation in IDs across frames reflects the independent detection process in each 2D frame. Subsequently, a multi-object assignment algorithm (middle) intervenes to reconcile these IDs, effectively re-assigning them to maintain consistency across frames. This step is crucial for reconstructing accurate 3D objects (right), ensuring that each bundle retains a consistent ID throughout all frames.
