About V3D:<br>
<br>
V3D is a handy, fast, and versatile 3D/4D/5D Image Visualization & Analysis System for Bioimages & Surface Objects. It also provides many unique functions. It is also Open Source, supports a very simple and powerful plugin interface and thus can be extended & enhanced easily. This software has recently been published in Nature Biotechnology (April 2010), received highlights in Nature Methods (May, 2010), Science News (April/May 2010), and NITRC (Aug, 2010). Developer hackathons that involved about 10 different research labs were also held recently (July-Aug, 2010).<br>
<br>
<br>
V3D is a cross-platform (Mac, Linux, and Windows) tool for visualizing large-scale (gigabytes, and 64-bit data) 3D, 4D and 5D image stacks and various surface data. It is also a container of powerful modules for 3D image analysis (cell segmentation, neuron tracing, brain registration, annotation, quantitative measurement and statistics, etc) and data management. This makes V3D suitable for various bioimage informatics applications, and a nice platform to develop new 3D image analysis algorithms for high-throughput processing. In short, V3D streamlines the workflow of visualization-assisted analysis.<br>
<br>
<br>
In our latest development, V3D can render 5D (spatial-temporal) data directly in 3D volume-rendering mode; it supports convenient and interactive local and global 3D views at different scales. it even has a Matlab file IO toolbox. Probably most importantly, you can now write your own plugins to take advantage of the V3D platform!<br>
