AMIRA (Mercury Computer Systems)

AMIRA is a state-of-the-art 3D visualization package that can be used for displaying very large data sets at interactive speed. Processing of 3D image data is supported by automatic interactive segmentation tools. Novel, fast, and robust reconstruction algorithms make it easy to create polygonal models from segmented objects.

• Supports most standard file formats including ACR-NEMA/DICOM, TIFF, PPM, JPEG, binary raw data, VRML, PLY, Fluent/UNS, and AVS

Applications

• Visualization of 3D image data sets such as CT, MR, confocal and electron microscopy tomographic volumes
• Automatic and interactive segmentation of data
• Generation of 3D surface and tetrahedral models
• Intersection-free surface simplification and editing
• Computation of iso-surfaces and direct volume rendering
• Interactive and automatic registration and alignment
• Intuitive 3D transformation editor
• Multiple coordinate systems
• Advanced vector field visualization algorithms
• Support of curvilinear and unstructured tetrahedral grids
• Scripting facilities via a Tcl-command interface

Location

The primary workstation for Image Analysis is located in the Building1 Room B60.
