Stitching micro-CT images together

Hello, we are searching a solution to stitch together 3d image datasets collected with a micro-CT scanner. He images are all collected at the same scale, have some overlap, and are possibly rotated one with respect to the other sinché the sample is moved between one scan and the other.

Thanks very much!

Hi, you might find more image-oriented software like 3D Slicer more suitable for stitching together micro-CT images.

Hi, we have experienced very slow loading of large microCT images in 3D slicer. Maybe we are doing something wrong? And do you have specific function for stitching?

VTK itself doesn’t have any classes for image stitching, or at least, none that I’m aware of.

Image registration is more of ITK’s domain. It has a number of registration algorithms in the toolkit. It doesn’t have anything that’ll solve your problem automatically, but you should be able to code something to fill your needs. I’d ask over at the ITK discourse (discourse.itk.org).

Hi,

Slicer has a tool for stitching volumes:

But probably you’ll have to make a registration first if you are mentioning there is some relative rotation between the images

EDIT: I just found there is also this one

HIH

Yes thanks! I need registration then merging the datasets. Is this possible in Slicer?

Yes, more info here:
