How to Build

What you need to Download

The binaries for your platform are available for download at:

http://penglab.janelia.org/proj/v3d/V3D/Download.html

Install V3D in any directory of your choice. We will refer to that directory as: “V3D_BINARY_DIR”

http://github.com/luisibanez/ITK-V3D-Plugins

Typically:

If you have write access, use

git clone [email protected]:luisibanez/ITK-V3D-Plugins.git

or, if you only have read access, use:

git clone git://github.com/luisibanez/ITK-V3D-Plugins.git

then

cd ITK-V3D-Plugins

We will refer to the directory where this source tree is, as “ITK-V3D-Source-Dir”

Create a binary directory in which the plugins will be build.
We will refer to this directory as “ITK-V3D-Binary-Dir”

Do

mkdir ITK-V3D-Binary-Dir
cd ITK-V3D-Binary-Dir
ccmake ITK-V3D-Source-Dir

In the configuration dialog set the values of the variables

ITK_DIR to the binary directory where you built ITK
V3D_BINARY_DIR to the binary directory where you installed V3D
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to the executable of “qmake” corresponding to the version of Qt that you want to use (it should be at least Qt 4.5.2)

Then

At this point the plugins should have been copied to the V3D_BINARY_DIR/plugins directory.

You can then do

cd V3D_BINARY_DIR
and launch v3d

In the top menu bar, select the option “File”
The “Open Stack in a New Window”
Use the File Dialog to locate an image to load
Select that image and load it.
In the top menu bar, select the option “Plug-In”.
It should present a drop-down menu with groups of plugins, one of which should say: “Smoothing”.
If you select that sub-menu, you should see another menu with multiple entries, one of which is “Median Filter”
Click in that option
At that point, the ITK Median filter should run in your image, and the original image will be replaced by the new smoothed image.
