The SSIM is an index measuring the structural similarity between two images. It is valued between -1 and 1. When two images are nearly identical, their SSIM is close to 1.
The aim of this plugin is to characterise the orientation and isotropy properties of a region of interest (ROI) in an image, based on the evaluation of the gradient structure tensor in a local neighborhood.
When opening the Pannoramic Viewer you see all of your virtual slides in thumbnail view. Selecting one (or up to 10 at a time) the slide gets under the virtual objective of the virtual microscope. Here you can move and change the magnification of the slide quickly and easily using the mouse. Emphasizing 'quickly' is important considering the fact that the size of an average virtual slide can easily be more than 1 GB.
Main characteristics:
Seamless zooming and moving of the virtual slide
Bookmarking (annotating) on the spot, i.e. defining the specific part of the sample by drawing; finding and reading of previously made bookmarks
Easy and precise measurements
Real-time changing of brightness, contrast and color bias
Fluorescent slide handling, separate channel view & pseudo-colorization
Slide uploading and downloading for teleconsultation
Synchronized viewing (moving and zooming) of multiple slides for comparison purposes
Publication quality image capture of displayed areas (.JPG, .BMP, .TIFF)
TIFF, MIRAX slide and Meta-XML export for Carl Zeiss AxioVision™ compatibility
Scanmap export for rescanning existing digital slides
Easily expandable functionality via the software modules
