Image Stack Editor
Software Suite for 2D Image Stack Editing in Large Quantities
Overview
Stack editor allows users to easily process 2D images in a lightweight, straight forward software package. Specifically designed, but not exclusively for HREM images allowing for LUT inversion, stack cropping and more.
Tutorial
Overview
The stack editor is a simple tool allowing user to do the following:
-
Visualise image processing to an image stack on each image (CLAHE, Brightness, Threshold)
-
Apply image processing to an image stack on each image (CLAHE, Brightness, Threshold)
-
Add dimensions or work out based on a graticule image to a stack
-
Crop whole stacks for field of view
-
Combine multiple 2D stacks into one (of the same size)
Easy Control
The simple to use control panel gives clear direction of image processing operations and allows for additions of image viewers at any point. Histograms and images at any point in the timeline give the user feedback on the effect of processing operations at each point of the 2D stack process.
Size Reduction
-
Compress whole stacks with a range of options such as None, LZW, JPEG and Deflate, reducing files sizes dramatically.
-
Use the in-built image crop feature to retain image virtual dimensions but remove non useful information.
-
Resize individual images with adjustment in output dimensions.
Applications
Stack editor can be used for a variety of applications such as:
-
Processing embryonic hearts and whole embryo datasets captured with HREM
-
Whole organ mounted image processing
-
Agricultural samples such as barley and chicken embryos
-
It can also be used for any serial image output application such as serial block face imaging or other 3D imaging techniques
