Objective: Incorporate into Slicer our existing microscopy processing and analysis routines, currently being done in Matlab.

Progress: Reading 3-D TIFF images and generating surface models has been easily accomplished.

  • 2007-04-26: Modifying Otsu Segmentation CLM to make use of Connected Components Image Filter.
    • Works in Linux, not OS X.
  • 2007-04-25: Discussion of relevant steps to accomplish initial astrocyte parsing project.
    • Using EM Segmentation or 2-D histogram normalization approach to segment immunostaining data.
    • Need 3-D erosion functionality for 'shrinking' astrocyte image volume to separate into two domains: an outer, "hull", and an inner, "core" domain in which differential protein distributions will be assessed.
    • Can ParaView be used as visualization tool for surface rendering? Is it faster?
