Java tools
Home Atlas Database Resources Contact Site Search

These java tools have been developed as part of the NIH funded "Electronic Atlas of the Developing Human Brain" project. The tools replace and extend some of the C/X11/Motif tools developed as part of the Mouse Atlas project and use the same underlying image processing libraries. We have tested each of these under MS Windows, Solaris, Linux (Mandrake, Redhat) and Mac OSX. Click on each tool for more information.

Install - use this link to install the required Java environment, after that the tools can be started by simply clicking on the link on the appropriate page, the "start" link below or directly from Java Webstart.

JAtlasViewer

A 3D volume browser providing section and 3D visualisation. The volume data can include segmentations for example labelled anatomy, the viewer provides feedback and navigation through the anatomical nomenclature. Example data-sets for human and mouse embryo. Start
JConvert An image format converter for generating volume data suitable for the Atlas Viewers. This allows conversion from a range of 2D and 3D image formates to the native Woolz format used in the MRC software. Start
Gene Expression Viewer A prototype viewer for gene-expression data that has been mapped onto a refererence volume, for example as obtained by query on the EMAGE database. Start
JReconstruct A java version of the Reconstruct program. This implementation is incomplete and currently only allows simple re-stacking of 2D image files. Work in progress. Start
JWarp Tools to support 3D warping of data by defined a series of "tie-points" or correspondences between two data volumes. Start
JProcessing A 3D image processing GUI tool, which supports affine transform, threshold, dialation , erosion, set voxelsize and set value, etc. This product is under development. Start
