ASAP-modules

ASAP is a set of modules to perform stitching and alignment of EM and Array tomography data. It is suitable for processing large-scale datasets and supports multiple computational environments.

Installation

Please refer the documentation Installation:Installation. on how to install and use ASAP modules

How to run

The order of processing is as follows;

Other Modules

A few other modules are included in ASAP to do the following.

Materialization - render intermediate/final aligned volume to disk for further processing
Fusion - Fuse global 3D non-linear aligned chunks together to make a complete volume
Point match filter - A module that performs point match filtering of an existing point match collection
Point match optimization - Performs a parameter sweep from a given set of ranges on a random sample of tilepairs to identify the optimal set of parameters
Registration - Register individual sections in an already aligned volume (useful in cases of aligning missing/reimaged sections)

Support

We are planning on occasional updating this tool with no fixed schedule. Community involvement is encouraged through both issues and pull requests. Please make pull requests against the dev branch, as we will test changes there before merging into master.
