NeuroMorph: Legacy Documentation

This page describes outdated software.
Please visit the active NeuroMorph project website,
and view the current Blender wiki documentation.

NeuroMorph is a set of tools created by scientists at EPFL in Switzerland, and designed to import, analyze, and visualize mesh models. It has been made for the analysis of 3D objects derived from serial electron microscopy images of brain tissue, although much of its functionality can be applied to any 3D mesh. These objects can be generated by 3D image segmentation software such as ilastik and Fiji.

It is composed of three tools whose documentation is organized as follows: Import Objects Measurement Tools Image Stack Interactions The tools, example files and images can be downloaded from here.
