WinSAGE

SAGE is a graphics streaming architecture for supporting high-resolution, scalable and collaborative scientific visualization environments with potentially hundreds of megapixel of contiguous display resolution. It is primarily designed to be run as a thin middleware on cluster driven tile-displays. It allows users to treat the high-resolution distributed displays as one contiguous desktop where users can move/resize application windows. SAGE is network centric and the applications running on these displays need not run locally. The applications can be run on remote machines or clusters and can stream their pixel framebuffers to SAGE enabled tile-displays.

The group responsible for the core development is at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

This webpage supports the Windows 32-bit versions of software used for building and configuring scalable tile-displays. The Windows port was done at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research under a grant by Microsoft Research. The software has been tested on Windows XP based tile-displays driven by a high-bandwidth backplane (1Gpbs) and bundles in SAGE application binaries/source for remote presentation, large 2D/3D dataset visualization and HD video playback and streaming amongst others.

Jinx
Jinx is a tool for segmentation of 3D data sets. It was designed specifically for 3D electron microscopic data sets produced using electron tomography, but may be used for any aligned 3d data set. It is written in Java as a Java Webstart application. Jinx contains the facility for annotating 3D microscopic data using formal ontologies. The current version of Jinx allows the choice of ontologies, including the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) ontologies, which includes an extensive ontology for subcellular anatomy of the nervous system based on our Subcellular Anatomy Ontology (SAO)

Requirements: Java 1.5 or more recent.
No software installation is required but Java Web Start must be pre-installed. Most modern computers will have this installed.

Convertilizer
Convertilizer is a tool for converting between sundry volume and image formats commonly used at NCMIR, including IMOD, Suprim, Analyze 7.5, and TIFF. It can produce image stacks, where the format permits, or take apart an image stack into separate files. It also has a facility for making Quicktime (.MOV) movies from stacks or series of images.

Requirements: Java 1.5 or more recent.
No software installation is required but Java Web Start must be pre-installed. Most modern computers will have this installed.

OntologEZ
OntologEZ is a tool for easily browsing the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) or Subcellular Anatomy Ontology (SAO) ontologies.

Requirements: Java 1.5 or more recent.
No software installation is required but Java Web Start must be pre-installed. Most modern computers will have this installed.

OntoPal
OntoPal is a tool for users of surfacing/segmentation packages other than Jinx who wish to create "Ontologically Correct" object names based upon the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) or Subcellular Anatomy Ontology (SAO) ontologies.

Requirements: Java 1.5 or more recent.
No software installation is required but Java Web Start must be pre-installed. Most modern computers will have this installed.

Unys
Unys is a Java Web Start application for viewing Synu polygonal and MicroBrightField Neurolucida datasets. Other formats, such as OBJ and COLLADA will be added shortly. Unys is still in a state of being actively developed.

Requirements: Java 1.5 or more recent.
No software installation is required but Java Web Start must be pre-installed. Most modern computers will have this installed.
