Quick Projection Options

Use the Quick Projection tool to quickly combine information from multiple Z Sections. You may choose to average all of the sections into one, which will give you an approximation of a volume rendering of the image looking directly down the Z axis.

Open Quick Projection by choosing View | Quick Projection from the main softWoRx window.

Use	To...
Input, Output, Select region, Reset, Details, Wavelengths	Specify input data and output parameters as shown in Image Input and Output.
Number of Sections to Average	Indicate how many input sections to average for each output section (e.g., if this number is 3, input sections 1-3 are combined to create the first output section and sections 4-6 are combined to create the second output section.)
All	Combine information from all of the sections in the data set.
Method	Specify the method used to combine the sections: Sum simply adds the intensity of each pixel to create the output values. Be careful when using this option. If the output intensity values are too large for the output data type specified, the output image will look strange due to saturation. Average uses a simple average of the input data values to create the output image. Max Intensity uses the largest intensity value of all the input intensities to create an output value. This method may give you the most realistic impression of a volume rendered image, especially when you combine all of the images in the input data set.

Number of Sections to Average

Indicate how many input sections to average for each output section (e.g., if this number is 3, input sections 1-3 are combined to create the first output section and sections 4-6 are combined to create the second output section.)

All

Combine information from all of the sections in the data set.

Method

Specify the method used to combine the sections:

Sum simply adds the intensity of each pixel to create the output values. Be careful when using this option. If the output intensity values are too large for the output data type specified, the output image will look strange due to saturation.

Average uses a simple average of the input data values to create the output image.

Max Intensity uses the largest intensity value of all the input intensities to create an output value. This method may give you the most realistic impression of a volume rendered image, especially when you combine all of the images in the input data set.
