Module Description

The AstroVolume can read/write FITS file (astronomical data format) and handle the color function and display of Astro Volumes.

Astro segmentation editor effect


AstroContours Effect


This editor effect can create multiple segmentation (3D contours) of the input volume.

Contour Levels info:

The Levels can be specified as a list (e.g., 'VALUE1;VALUE2;VALUE3') or in the following format 'FISRT:LAST:SPACING'. In the case of a list, it is possible also to specify for each Contour both the MIN and MAX intensity values of the level (e.g., 'CONTOUR1MIN,CONTOUR1MAX;CONTOUR2MIN,CONTOUR2MAX'). If the string is preceded by 'RMS', the levels are evaluated in units of RMS of the datacube.

The contours in SlicerAstro are a full 3D segmentation. Therefore it can be computationally heavy to segment (marching cubes algorithm) and visualize around the noise range [-2, 2] RMS for large datacubes.\


AstroCloudLasso Effect


The AstroCloudLasso segmentation editor effect is a tool to interactively perform a 3D selection. This 3D selection (the segmentation) can be used either for:

1. changing an imported mask generated by automated algorithms (e.g., source finders);
2. providing an input mask to a variety of tools in SlicerAstro (e.g., MomentMaps module and Modeling module).
