Image Quantification Algorithms

This is the development and distribution project for image quantification algorithms developed by the CCP in Tomographic imaging (CCPi). At present the algorithms are packaged for KitWare's VolView but are written so that they can easily be re-used in other image analysis software such as Avizo.

The plug-ins available at the moment are:

• 3D quantification - calculates various quantities from labelled 3D image, including particle size, PCA analysis and fitted surface data.
• Connected components - can be used to label the separate components in a binary image.
• Accessibe volume - calculate the accessible volume distribution for a 3D scaffold.

If you wish to contribute to the development of plug-ins or have ideas for plug-ins you would like to see then please contact the David Worth via the link on the right.

Downloading the Software

If you would like to download VolView and the plug-ins then please register as a member of CCPForge (Register account link is top right) and log in.

The VolView application and plug-ins are available pre-compiled for Windows (32 and 64 bit versions) from the File section. The plug-ins will not work with the binary available from the VolView web site.

To use the plug-ins in VolView on Linux you will have to compile VolView yourself and there are instructions for this in the Docs section. Source code is available for the plug-ins from the Files section.
