Dear colleagues,

I am sending this message again. hoping that you can find time to deal with it.

1) When I export a mask, the images are scaled between zero and one and the segmented regions are not immediately visible when I open the file in another program. Of course I can rescale the intensities in almost any IP program, but I think the images should be automatically scaled to 0-255 or, at least, allow this option.

2) I have noticed a weird behavior when opening TIFF files which are not greyscale. If the pixels are RGB or indexed color Seg3D is able to open the files but there is some scaling problem and the Z axis is terribly stretched against the x-y scale. I have the same behavior in Seg3D2 for Windows or Linux.

3) How do I set the x-y-z scale of an image in microns, etc.??

4) Where can I find an UP TO DATE doc about Seg3D2 functions? Many are pretty self evident, but some are not. Is there a wiki or complete help? I did find some tutorials, but they were incomplete and seemed outdated.

Having said that, I think Seg3D2 is just outstanding. It is powerful, fast and very easy to use. The interface is one of the best I have seen. I hope you can continue its development.

If you allow me a wish list:
- measurement of objects sizes and shapes with a data file output (I am aware of the connected component size function but I cannot figure how to extract the size measurements - all I could do was  segment the component size image based on size/greyscale).
- transparency control of isosurfaces in 3D view.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Ayla, I was really worried about the lack of feedback ...

Keep in touch.

Hi Sidnei,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you - I'm looking into your problem and wish list items, and will get back to you shortly.

Dear all,

Did the messages below appear on the list? As I never got any feedback, I was wandering if it got lost.

Dear colleagues,

Did anyone process the message further below?

I got no response this far ...

I take this opportunity to report an apparent bug in the image import procedure. I had an image stack composed of RGB Tiff images. They were actually µCT images without color, but recorded with 3 channels with equal values.

When opening this stack in Seg3D some characteristic of the files makes the program interpret very different scales for the z and (x,y) directions. As a result, the image appears terribly stretched in the z direction.

If I first convert the RGB 24 bit images to single channel 8 bit everything works fine. For that matter, I was able to load and process a 2000x2000x2200 stack in a Linux system running on an i7-980 with 24 Gb RAM. The program is perfectly stable.

Thank you very much.

Hi there,

I have mentioned this to Ayla, but I am not sure if there was a chance to check it.

When I export a mask as bmp's or tiff's, the images are scaled between zero and one and the segmented regions are invisible. 

Of course I can rescale the intensities in almost any IP program, but I think the images should be automatically scaled to 0-255 or, at least, allow this option.

One more point: where can I find an UP TO DATE doc about Seg3D2 functions? Many are pretty self evident, but some are not. Is there a wiki or complete help? I did find some tutorials, but they were incomplete and seemed outdated.

Having said that, I think Seg3D2 is just outstanding. It is powerful, fast and very easy to use. The interface is one of the best I have seen. I hope you can continue its development.
