VolumeViewer is an interactive tool for fitting surfaces to volume data. It is being developed as part of a collaboration between the Media and Machines Lab and the Department of Radiation Oncology at Washington University in St. Louis, and is the product of research being conducted by
Ross Sowell,
Lu Liu,
Tao Ju,
Cindy Grimm,
Christopher Abraham,
Garima Gokhroo, and
Daniel Low.
The long term goal of the VolumeViewer project is to improve the overall accuracy and efficiency of the segmentation and segmentation review processes.
VolumeViewer currently provides the following features:
-
Visualization:
The user can view arbitrarily oriented cross-sections of a volume dataset and explore the volume interactively by rotating and traslating the image plane.
-
Contouring:
Contours can be sketched on any cross-section of the volume using several drawing tools (painting, clicking dots, LiveWire).
-
Surface Reconstruction:
Once a set of contours have been defined, a surface can be built that interpolates those contours.
-
Review and Editing:
A surface model can be viewed simultaneously with the image data for evaluation. The mesh can then be edited by modifying existing contours or adding new contours and reconstructing the surface.
VolumeViewer can be downloaded free of charge for use under the terms of the under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
