Zorro Automator - dose-fractionated image registrator
Project description
Author: Robert A. McLeod
Email: robbmcleod@gmail.com
Zorro is a package designed for registration of image drift for dose fractionation in electron microscopy. It is specifically designed to suppress correlated noise.
Zorro is currently in beta. Our current priority is to provide better ease of installation, so if you have problems with installing Zorro please do not hesitate to open an issue.
For help on installation please see the wiki page: https://github.com/C-CINA/zorro/wiki
Zorro has the following dependencies:
numpy
SciPy
pyFFTW
And the following optional dependencies (for loading HDF5 and TIFF files respectively):
PyTables
scikit-image
Zorro comes packaged with a modified version of the NumExpr virtual machine called numexprz that has support for complex64 data types.
Zorro is MIT license.
Automator
The Automator for Zorro and 2dx is a GUI interface to Zorro.
It has the following additional dependencies:
PySide
Automator also comes with the Skulk Manager tool which may be used as a daemon to watch a directory for new image stacks and automatically process them.
Automator is LGPL license.
Feature List
