CIBC:Seg3D
From SCIRun Documentation Wiki
Seg3D is a free volume segmentation and processing tool developed by the NIH Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing at the University of Utah Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute. Seg3D combines a flexible manual segmentation interface with powerful higher-dimensional image processing and segmentation algorithms from the Insight Toolkit. Users can explore and label image volumes using volume rendering and orthogonal slice view windows.
Latest Release
Seg3D 1.12.0 soon to be available.
The Seg3D 1.12 release will be released in September 2009. It contains a few new features and several bug fixes.
New features in 1.12.0
- Now compatible with 64-bit Windows
- Unified build with CMake
- New autosave feature. Defaults will autosave the session to tmp.ses in your home directory every 15 minutes.
- Autosave time interval and directory location are configurable via Edit->Preferences
- New hotkey for polyline tool. Pressing backspace (delete for OS X) will delete the last point in the polyline.
Bug fixes in 1.12.0
- If a Mask Label is set, filling in a region defined by the polyline tool will only fill in the region overlapping the mask.
This behavior for the polyline tool now matches the behavior for the paintbrush tool.

We need feedback!
Seg3D is in active development and we like feedback on any bugs or new feature requests. Please create a wiki account and contribute so we can make Seg3D a successful application.
A list of feature requests currently under consideration can be found on the features discussion page.
Please add all bugs to the Seg3D Bugzilla, or mail them to seg3d@sci.utah.edu. To obtain a Bugzilla account, please send email to the Seg3D email list.
New releases should come approximately once every three months. Because Seg3D is under active development the plan is to release binaries with new features and bug fixes quite often. Please update your version Seg3D often and keep us notified of any feature requests or bugs encountered. Any comments, suggestions, or bug reports can be sent to seg3d@sci.utah.edu.
