[Insight-users] Geodesic Active Contours passing over edges {VolView]

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Jarek,

As of version 2.0, VolView can be used in one
of two modes: Free Mode or Professional Mode.

In Free Mode, VolView has all of the basic data
loading, visualization, and image processing
functionality. In Professional Mode, advanced
functionality such as interactive annotation,
animation, and collaboration are added. More
information on these two modes is provided below.

When you download VolView, it is automatically
set for free mode. You will see at that point
a number of menu options that are grayed out.
Those are the options that have been disabled
from the professional mode.

On a routine basis, you can request a demo license
for the professional mode that will be valid for
30 days.  In this way you can better compare the
functionalities available between the free and
professional modes. During the trial period you
get free support via email at support at kitware.com.



In Free Mode, the following functionality is provided:

· Ability to load any supported data type
· Appearance editor for material classification and shading
· Blending functions and super sampling for volume rendering
· Filters (extendable via public API)
· Complex volume cropping
· Control over mapping of values for image display
· Interactive probing of image values
· 3D cursor and 3D markers
· Parallel and perspective projection
· Save volumes in any supported format
· Save or print screenshots

The entry "Filters" refer to the ITK plugins.




In Professional the following advanced features are added:

· An animation tool for basic volume / image series movies.
· Interactive annotation elements including:
· Dynamic header and corner text annotation
· Color bar, bounding box, scale bar
· Distance and angle measurement
· Orientation marker
· Ability to customize mouse bindings
· Thick reform and oblique probing
· A lightbox view with up to 5x5 images
· Interface for Window/Level with configurable presets
· Ability to change background colors
· Advanced light control for position, color, intensity
· Control of perspective view angle and camera reset
· Advanced level-of-detail control for volume rendering
· Create multiple isovalued contours
· Export volume as DICOM
· Save contours in a variety of geometric formats
· Save sessions and transfer functions
· Collaboration mode to connect two VolView sessions




Please let us know if you have further questions,
