3 D - Data Representation with ImageJ

After having developed three ImageJ plugins that use 3D display techniques of image data (Color Inspector 3D, 3D Surface Plot, and Volume Viewer), the idea came up that these plugins do share a lot of common algorithms that could also be used for other plugins which need a 3D display of (image) data. The workshop concerning 3D-Data Representation with ImageJ that will be given at the “ImageJ User and Developer Conference” will consist of two parts. In the first part the usage of the plugins mentioned above using 3D-data display techniques will be described. Typical applications and image analysis features will be explained. The second part of the workshop will explain how the 3D programming techniques shared by these plugins can be used by other plugins. At the time of the ImageJ conference there will be an “easy to use” JAVA framework, which will allow an uncomplicated construction of plugins using 3D display techniques.
