TomoPy is an open-sourced Python toolbox to perform tomographic data processing and image reconstruction.[1]

Overview

Tomographic reconstruction creates three-dimensional views of an object by combining two-dimensional images taken from multiple directions, for example in how a computer-aided tomography scanner allows 3D views of the heart or brain. Data collection can be rapid, but the required computations are massive. Further, many common experimental perturbations can degrade the quality of tomographs, unless corrections are applied. Unless automated tools make these corrections, beamline staff can be overwhelmed by data that can be collected far faster than corrections and reconstruction can be performed.[2]

To address the needs for image correction and tomographic reconstruction in an instrument independent manner, the TomoPy code was developed, which is a parallelizable high performance tomography library.

gollark: Never mind, I checked the internet, now I have a rough idea.

gollark: I have no idea what "thermic analysis" is, but... enjoy?

gollark: I can remember random facts fine, just not... life events, at all.

gollark: I did do geography for a while (pre-GCSEs), but it wasn't grouped in with the science stuff. I've also completely forgotten what we did, so very effective teaching right there.

gollark: Ah.
