Real-time 3D analysis during electron tomography using tomviz
The demand for high-throughput electron tomography is rapidly increasing in
biological and material sciences. However, this 3D imaging technique is
computationally bottlenecked by alignment and reconstruction which runs from
hours to days. We demonstrate real-time tomography with dynamic 3D tomographic
visualization to enable rapid interpretation of specimen structure immediately
as data is collected on an electron microscope. Using geometrically complex
chiral nanoparticles, we show volumetric interpretation can begin in less than
10 minutes and a high quality tomogram is available within 30 minutes. Real
time tomography is integrated into tomviz, an open source and cross platform 3D
analysis tool that contains intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUI) to enable
any scientist to characterize biological and material structure in 3D
HEXRD/hexrdgui: Release 1.0.0
<p>HEXRDGUI 1.0.0 includes major infrastructure upgrades, osx-arm64 packages, and a few new features and bug fixes. Below are a few highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgraded to Python3.11, resulting in noticeable performance improvements</li>
<li>Upgraded to PySide6, which fixed some issues with the GUI interface</li>
<li>Added conda packages for osx-arm64 (Apple computers after 2019)</li>
<li>Added zoom box for raw view with summation plots</li>
<li>Overhauled and simplified threshold masking</li>
<li>Added ability to translate and rotate rectangle/ellipse masks</li>
<li>Added configuration options, including changing font size and CPU limit</li>
<li>Implemented numerous other minor improvements and bug fixes</li>
</ul>
<p>NOTE: you must create a new environment for this upgrade, so you should delete your old HEXRDGUI environment first. The install instructions have also changed. Please see here for updated instructions: https://hexrdgui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/</p>
<p>In particular, Python3.11 is now required, and installing/updating the prerelease
is now simpler. For example, installing the prerelease is now as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">conda install -c hexrd/label/prerelease -c conda-forge python=3.11 hexrdgui
</code></pre>
HEXRD/hexrd: Release 0.9.4
<ul>
<li>Added support for Python3.11, resulting in noticeable performance improvements</li>
<li>Added conda packages for osx-arm64 (Apple computers after 2019)</li>
<li>Implemented build time optimization that results in performance improvements</li>
<li>Added ability to cancel fit-grains programmatically</li>
<li>Changed PXRDIP default polar angle to 67.5</li>
<li>Improved TARDIS distance between plates constraint</li>
<li>Implemented a few bug fixes, including one with memoization</li>
</ul>
HEXRD/hexrdgui: Release 0.9.6
Many new features and improvements have been added in this release:
many help buttons have been added throughout the program that link to pages in the documentation
support for a cylindrical detector (used primarily in TARDIS currently)
new Rygg pinhole distortion method (used primarily for TARDIS and PXRDIP)
added stereographic view
added Q scattering vector to mouse hover info as well as it being an option for the polar x-axis
added azimuthal overlay plots in the polar view
new structureless calibration workflow
support for GEL files
fit grains is now much faster, thanks to some transform function updates in HEXRD 0.9.3
fixed export of HEDM workflow
many improvements to masking
streamlined the LLNL import tool
added reflections selection helper
added option to perform relative scaling for structure factor
added some command-line arguments
added ability to export polar view to Mau
HEXRD/hexrd: Release 0.9.3
A variety of new features have been added, including:
support for a cylindrical detector (used primarily in TARDIS currently)
new Rygg pinhole distortion method (used primarily for TARDIS and PXRDIP)
new structureless calibration class
support for GEL files
For the HEDM workflow:
large performance improvements to fit-grains (including through the use of updated C transforms, and a major reduction in the amount of memory used)
namedtuple grains output
fixed an HKL reset issue in fit-grains
new options for selecting which HKLs to exclude when running from the CL
