Flow3J - 3D Optical Flow in Java
Version 0.1b: First version. Some small problems fixed.
This page is a companion to my IEEE TMI paper: M. D. Abràmoff, and M.A. Viergever. Computation and Visualization of Three Dimensional Motion in the Orbit. IEEE Trans Med Imag., 2002. (accepted for publication!, after almost two years!).
It also implements 2-D and 3-D scintillation rendering as a method of visualizing three-dimensional optical flow fields. The picture on the right shows the three-dimensional motion of a rotating steak phantom in the left half of the image, and the steak itself in the right half of the image. |
