Data preperation

We have cropped the original images and removed the gelatin backgroud
We have constructed slices in two orthogonal panels (sagittal and coronal views); aligning required - linear interpolation between slices; best fit of features as a function of translations and rotations
The resulting images were converted to JPEG format using a 75%
For 3D reconstruction we focused on the human head
Image Clipper Application program (demo, written in Java) allows to cut the selected portion of the image and apply the procedure to all images in the stack (700 images XxY)
Data stored in voxel represenation in Illustra object-relational database (x, y, z, r, g, b)
The original dataset reduced to 70 images XxY
