Visualisation

VTK is an open-source software system for image processing, 3D graphics, volume rendering and visualization. VTK includes many advanced algorithms (e.g., surface reconstruction, implicit modeling, decimation) and rendering techniques (e.g., hardware-accelerated volume rendering, LOD control).

VTK is used by academicians for teaching and research; by government research institutions such as Los Alamos National Lab in the US or CINECA in Italy; and by many commercial firms who use VTK to build or extend products.

The origin of VTK is with the textbook "The Visualization Toolkit, an Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics" originally published by Prentice Hall and now published by Kitware, Inc. (Third Edition ISBN 1-930934-07-6). VTK has grown (since its initial release in 1994) to a world-wide user base in the commercial, academic, and research communities.

TissUUmaps is a browser-based tool for fast visualization and exploration of millions of data points overlaying a tissue sample. TissUUmaps can be used as a web service or locally in your computer, and allows users to share regions of interest and local statistics.

ELEPHANT is a platform for 3D cell tracking, based on incremental and interactive deep learning.
It implements a client-server architecture. The server is built as a web application that serves deep learning-based algorithms. The client application is implemented by extending Mastodon, providing a user interface for annotation, proofreading and visualization.

Fractal is a framework to process high-content imaging data at scale and prepare it for interactive visualization. Fractal provides distributed workflows that convert TBs of image data into OME-Zarr files. The platform then processes the 3D image data by applying tasks like illumination correction, maximum intensity projection, 3D segmentation using cellpose and measurements using napari workflows. The pyramidal OME-Zarr files enable interactive visualization in the napari viewer.

Relate is a correlative software package optimised to work with EM, EDS, EBSD, & AFM data and images.  It provides the tools you need to correlate data from different microscopes, visualise multi-layered data in 2D and 3D, and conduct correlative analyses.

• Combining data from different imaging modalities (e.g. AFM, EDS & EBSD)

• Interactive display of multi-layer correlated data

• Analytical tools for metadata interrogation

• Documented workflows and processes

Correlate

• Import data from AZtec using the H5oina file format
• Import AFM data
• Correlate both sets of data using intuitive image overlays and image matching tools
• Produce combined multimodal datasets

Visualise

• 2D display of multi-layered data
• 3D visualisation of topography combined with AFM material properties, EM images, and EDS & EBSD map overlays
• Customisation of colour palettes, data overlays, image rendering options, and document display
• Export images and animations

Analyse

• Generate profile (cross section) views of multimodal data
• Measure and quantify data across multiple layers
• Analyse areas via data thresholding using amount of x-ray counts, phase maps, height, or other material properties.
• Select an extensive range of measurement parameters
• Export analytical data to text or CSV files
