The Analyze Developers Add-On allows you to develop exciting new add-on modules to Analyze using the AVW (A Visualization Workshop) image library of more than 600 optimized image processing functions. To see the power of AVW, you need only look as far as the Analyze software package itself, which is built on AVW. The imaging functions that comprise AVW permit full exploration and analysis of multidimensional and multimodal biomedical image data sets. The software facilitates the development and implementation of advanced imaging algorithms and techniques and easy integration of these into specific applications solutions by imaging software developers. The extensive functionality and interactive speed of this software are unequivocally the key features which distinguish Analyze from other image processing and visualization packages. Functions The functions that make up AVW are accessible to software developers to build advanced image-based application solutions. While only one linkable library is provided, the functionality in AVW can be separated into eight distinct functional groups: ImageIO, Resource, Transform, Process, Segment, Analysis, Visualize and Model.
ImageIO The ImageIO functions provide a user extendable interface which enables the reading and writing of images in many common formats. Resource The Resource functions include the basic routines to create and destroy many of the AVW structures. Also included are list management, verification, and byte swapping routines. Transform The Transform functions include 2-D & 3-D spatial transformations, densitometric transformations and mathematical transformations. The functions necessary for oblique and curved sectioning, wavelet enhancement and compression transformations, and image registration/fusion are also included in this group. Process The Process functions provide a wide variety of histogram operations, spatial/convolution filtering, 3-D FFT's, 3-D Fourier domain filtering and 3-D deconvolution, including fast nonlinear iterative methods. Segmentation The Segment functions include thresholding, 2-D & 3-D region growing, automated boundary detection, creation of object maps, multiresolution decomposition, morphological processing and multispectral classification. Analysis The Analysis functions include extraction of line profiles, sampling of ROI's which include the computation of size, density, shape and texture parameters (e.g., area, mean, circularity, fractal signature). Visualization The Vizualize functions provide all operations necessary to support 3-D display using volume and surface rendering. Supported algorithms for volume rendering include depth-only shading, depth gradient shading, voxel gradient shading, integrated surface projection, maximum intensity projection and summation projection. Multiple object creation and rendering, color transparency (24-bit), image extraction tools, and image measurement tools are supported in conjunction with the volume rendering functions. Model The Modeling Functions provides the function to create and extract tiled surfaces from segmented volumes and object maps. The tiled surfaces can be saved in a variety of common surface modeling formats.
The Developers Add-On is designed for users who have substantial experience in C and Tcl/Tk development. All documentation and support provided for the Analyze Developers Add-On assumes that the user is extremely familiar with and has substantial experience in software development. If you are not a software developer, we advise against ordering this product. The Developers Add-On is not a standalone product. Only Analyze 9.0 customers may purchase the Developers Add-On. Qualified educational customers receive a substantial discount on the Developers Add-On. There are no functional differences between the Commercial and Academic editions of the Developers Add-On. For a pricing quote contact our sales department via e-mail at sales@analyzedirect.com or by phone at +1 (913) 338 2527. New Analyze modules and extensions developed using the Analyze Developers Add-On can be run on the system on which Analyze and the Developers Add-On is installed. For further distribution of developed products, runtime licenses must be purchased. The runtime license fee depends on the individual situation of every product and customer. For pricing information on runtime licenses please contact us. Commercial Product Development using AVW Software developers who wish to develop new commercial products using
the AVW product need to purchase a license for AVW. This is a standalone
product that currently can be purchased directly from Mayo Medical Ventures.
Please contact us to find out how to get access to this development
product.
