3D visualization

[rodthebuilder1]

Hi,

I was wondering if the code included a function to visualize the 3D strain/displacement map next to my 3D volume so I can correlate micro architecture and region of high strain.

thank you.

Hi there,
We haven't included visualizations like that. There are many factors to account for with different imaging modalities, types of visualizations, and final uses for the 3D data. A "standard" way of visualization, other than the basic included in the example file, is probably more confusing and error prone than it would be helpful for anyone - useful visualizations usually require some additional insight into the specific problem.

However, it is certainly possible to do. For example, in my dissertation (https://doi.org/10.26300/jqnk-6m25, Fig 5.1 on pg. 117) I show an example of doing what you describe using the 2D qDIC code, which is largely based on FIDVC. Code for that particular visualization isn't in GitHub, but I have code over at https://github.com/ALandauer/FIDIC/blob/master/FIDIC_plot.m as an example for a 2D image overlay of displacement and an image.

In the past, for these types of specialized applications the Franck Lab has been happy to collaborate with folks to help make the code and results as good as possible. This is likely still the case if you contact the lab via email, but since I haven't been a student there for a couple years now I can't say for sure.

Hope that helps,
Alex
