With all this discussion about scientific software for the Amiga I thought
I'd let you know what I'm working on and ask for a small bit of help.
I am writing a 3D image reconstruction program as part of my Ph.D. thesis
project. I optically section objects suspended in a transparent material
using a light microscope with a short depth of focus, and capture the images
with a frame grabber. I store the sequential images in animation format
to conserve disk space and keep the images together. I then plan to do edge
tracking to extract contours in each image, and then reconstruct the 3D objects
from the contours so that I can measure the objects' sizes, orientations, and
locations.
I FTP'd the IFF Disk from Commodore (Fred Fish #185) and planned to use the
displayANIM program (w/source code) to extract the images from the animation
file. Unfortunately, one of the include files needed to compile the program
is missing, namely "functions.h" If anyone knows where I can get this file
or can send it to me, or knows of another PD animation player w/source code
that does vertical byte run length decompression I would be eternally
grateful to you. (I have tried ux1.cso.uiuc.edu and trantor, but it is missing
at both locations. The file should be located in examples/anim/functions.h
on FF185). Thanks for your help.
