Hello!
I'm new in the list and this is my first message. I need help to reconstruct in 3D a burrow system that is inside of a rock. Yes, its a fossil. It is a complex network of interconected burrows. Burrows are not empty, they are filled with rock, but slightly different to the enclosing rock. So a difference of density is between rock and burrow sufficient for to be detected in a tomograph. I've scanned the sample in a conventional medical scanner and then, I have a lot of images of sections, spaced every 1 mm, of the sample. I need help for 1) In every image to select atomatically the zones corresponding to burrows and then to eliminate the rest of the image; and 2) with the resulting series of images of "burrows sections" to make a three dimensional reconstruction of the burrow system. My computer skills have been exceeded when I tried to do it alone using ImageJ, in fact I never use any other images software than Photoshop or similar. If someone can help me or at least tell me if it is, or not, possible of make using ImageJ I will be very grateful. Also if someone know about other software that can help me, please let me know. Thanks to all of you Sincerely Emilio Bedatou CONICET-UNLPam Av. Uruguay 151 Santa Rosa-La Pampa Argentina --------------------------------- Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí.

Hi Emilio
If both burrow and rock are different and consistent densities, and the boundary is reasonably sharp, you could try thresholding the volume in Volume Viewer. 1. Install Volume Viewer: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/volume-viewer.html 2. Import your set of slices into a stack - File->Import->Image Sequence 3. Select Volume Viewer from the Plugins Menu of ImageJ 4. Play with the threshold value until you find the cutoff at the boundary between rock and burrow (you may have to invert [Edit->Invert] the images first so that the burrows are higher grey values than the rock) 5. If you want to make some animations then try my macro: http://doube.org/macros.html#volslice There is a nice Open Source 3D renderer called Drishti that I have been using, but it requires a recent 3D graphics card to run - it's worth a try for your sort of work: http://sf.anu.edu.au/Vizlab/drishti/ Let us know how you get on!

Hi Emilio,
You can do 3D reconstruction with TrakEM2. 1 - Install these jars in the plugins folder: http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~acardona/edge/TrakEM2_.jar http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~acardona/edge/ImageJ_3D_Viewer.jar You need java 3d installed as well (present by default in MacOSX 10.4) 2 - Restart ImageJ 3 - Plugins -> TrakEM2 -> New Project (blank) 4 - Drag and drop a stack from your folders directly into the opened display. 5 - Go to the TrakEM2 window with the trees, and add nodes to the template tree (right-click to see "new"). The "area_list" is a free paint-bush operated segmentation type which is what you want. 6 - Drag and drop nodes from the template tree to the project tree, to create new ones, as many as desired (so you have one template, but many instances). 7 - Having an area list selected, just paint in the screen the area to segment. See the manual for all key bindings controling the brush (brush diameter, flood-fill, erase, flood-erase ...) http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~acardona/trakem2_manual.html#arealists 8 - In the TrakEM2 window, right-click on a node and select "Show in 3D". General tips: - Don't forget to "save" or "save as" your project. - right-click is your friend. Explore the menus for all options (such as "Autoresize canvas/layer set" to fit the window to your stack.) The 3D window enables you to take snaphsots, or export to other CAD applications for finer rendering of the 3D meshes. Albert |

Hi Emilio,
I would just like to point you to our homepage. We have worked on plugins regarding segmentation and 3D reconstruction. Our segmentation tool is mainly made for manual segmentation, so it may not be what you are looking for, but we can help you with the 3D reconstruction of the segmented images. Our segmentation editor can be found at http://132.187.25.13/bene/my/?category=Download&page=SegmentationEditor the 3D reconstruction and visualisation plugin at http://132.187.25.13/bene/my/?category=Download&page=Viewer3D We are working with flies, so all the screenshots you find there are made from fly brains, but nevertheless the software is not restricted to that.

Hi All,
Thanks Benjamin for your reply to Emilio, I tried your plugin after installing Java 3D (I can see a rotating cube) The plugin opens I used your sample stack in your web page, after selecting volume mode nad parameters, ImageJ crashes and is shut. Any suggestions? The memory of ImageJ is 1000MB in my settings...

Hi Orkun,
can you tell me more about your system? Which computer are you using, which operating system, and which graphics card? It would be also helpful, if you could start it in a console, which would probably provide you with more details about the reason for the crash. If you are interested, I will tell you how to do that once you told me your operating system.

I tried the ImageJ 3D reconstruction plugin below, and receive the following
error: Plugin or class not found: "ImageJ_3D_Viewer" (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/j3d/utils/behaviors/mouse/MouseBehaviorCallback).
