Welcome to the f3d project home page

f3d [format 3 dimensional] is a file format for storage of three-dimensionmal data, accompanied by a suite of tools for processing and visualization.

f3d is being developed as an open source project with hope that it will be useful for researchers and students interested in the areas of volume graphics and visualization, and thus will provide a basis for improved communication between different laboratories and applications.

About this site

The goal of this site is to provide up-to-date preview of the f3d development and to enable communication between f3d developers and users. Anybody can modify this site by adding new pages (see WikiNewPage?), bug reports, questions (and answers to others) or feature requests by means of tickets (see TracTickets).

f3d for users

f3d offers a suite of tools for processing and visualization of volumetric data, from simple format conversions, to various filters and segmentation and visualization tools.

f3d for developers

f3d is split in several packages:

  • f3dla: Basic linear algebra classes (vectors, 4x4 matrices etc)
  • f3dformat: Basic routines for reading and writing f3d files
  • f3dffilter: Implementation of different filters.
  • f3dclass A C++ class library for processing of volumetric data by process-based streaming
  • f3dview: A simple f3d file viewer

In streaming, a tool needs to allocate only as much memory as the algorithm requires---in contrary to the traditional approach to data processing in which space for the whole volume is allocated. Typically, the allocated volume in streaming is only one or only a few slices.
Read more about process-based streaming in the paper (http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1294685.1294703).
