GoFigure2- Image Compare subproject ============================================================================ 1-Introduction This application is part of the GoFigure project (see http://gofigure2.sf.net), whose primary goal is the automatic segmentation of nuclei and cell membranes and in temporally tracking them amidst cell division to create lineages. Using ITK, VTK and Qt libraries, we developed an application for 2D and 3D image visualization and comparison. We provide a set of classes for simple integration in a program, an executable for a command line use, and a pretty-printer for visual debugging in GDB. In case of a 3D dataset, the visualization is rendered with a variant of the vtkINRIA engine. The GDB pretty-printer requires the setup described at http://itk.org/Wiki/ITK/GDBPretty 2-Documentation 2.1 Articles An article introducing the features of this project is provided via its LateX sources.
