Notes:
The BioImage Suite team (www.bioimagesuite.org) is happy to make
available
the first release candidate of BioImage Suite 2.5 (2.5 RC1). This
is
feature complete in terms of what will be the final 2.5 release
expected
later this month. Versions are made available for:
* MS-Windows (2000/XP/VISTA)
* Mac OS X 10.4 (both intel and powerpc)
* Linux 32-bit
* Linux 64-bit
You may download it from http://bioimagesuite.org/download/Instal...
using the same username and password that can be found at http://research.yale.edu/bioimagesuite/f...
(You must be registered on the forum to access this information.)
New Features
------------
* Mostly complete support for the NIFTI file format -- see
http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/ for more details on NIFTI.
* More pervasive image objectmap editing (An objectmap is an image
in which
each value represents a different structure). This is now available
both
in the Surface Editor as before, but also in multi-slice editing
modes as
part of the Mosaic Objectmap Editor and Orthogonal Object Map
Editor.
* A preview of the BioImage Suite fMRI tools (still in beta format,
being
ported over from the internal version which is based on VTK 4.0 and
not
easily redistributable).
* A new animation tool for recording animations and saving them as
a set of
.jpeg or .tif files for creating movies for presentation.
* Integration with FSL v 4.0. (Previously BioImage Suite required
FSL v
3.1). This needs to be downloaded separately -- see
http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/ -- and be available in your path.
* Integration with the WFU pick atlas -- you need to download this
from
http://www.fmri.wfubmc.edu. Install this either in an adjacent directory to
BioImage Suite (e.g. /usr/local or C:\yale) or set the environment
variable WFUATLASDIR to point to the atlas location.
* A Levelset segmentation module with a version of the Chan-Vese
algorithm
and local modifications.
* A variety of small and large improvements in the underlying
architecture.
This is essentially a public beta release and we would appreciate
feedback
and error reports.
BioImage Suite is supported in part by the National Institutes of
Health
(NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
(NIBIB)
under grant R01 EB006494.
