Description
Paintera is a general visualization tool for 3D volumetric data and proof-reading in segmentation/reconstruction with a primary focus on neuron reconstruction from electron micrographs in connectomics. It features/supports:
- Views of orthogonal 2D cross-sections of the data at arbitrary angles and zoom levels
- Mipmaps for efficient display of arbitrarily large data at arbitrary scale levels
- Label data
- Painting
- Manual agglomeration
- 3D visualization as polygon meshes
- Meshes for each mipmap level
- Mesh generation on-the-fly via marching cubes to incorporate painted labels and agglomerations in 3D visualization. Marching Cubes is parallelized over small blocks. Only relevant blocks are considered (huge speed-up for sparse label data).
Paintera is implemented in Java and makes extensive use of the UI framework JavaFX
