What? How? Where?

The VolViewer main application window.

What? VolViewer is used for viewing volume images from, for example, confocal microscopy or optical projection tomography (OPT).

Features:

• Real-time volume rendering using an optimized 3D texture slicing algorithm.
• Interactive transfer functions to independently adjust opacity and intensity for up to three data channels.
• Real-time per channel thresholding, brightness and contrast operators.
• On-the-fly gradient computation for local illumination.
• Iso-surface computation with surface smoothing.
• Section viewing in any orientation / position.
• Real-time volume clipping.
• 3D measurements, filters & segmentation.
• Key frame interpolation for movie export.
• Stereo rendering using either quad buffer or anaglyph mode.
• Scripting interface to other systems, e.g. Matlab, OMERO, etc.

How? It is open source and written in C++ using OpenGL, OpenCL and Qt.
Where? Binaries are available for the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, see below.

Requirements: An OpenGL 2.1 / GLSL 1.20 compatible GPU with a recomended 512MB of memory.
