ANU CTLab

1
ANU CTLab
A web-based interface which collects a secure
tomography database with real-time GPS-cluster
visualisation, a 3D scanning and prototyping
service, materials simulation tool box and
support for stand-alone visualisation.

Plexus

• An extensible repository for data of any
  dimension and relation to any other data (real,
  simulated, theoretical). Records the
  chronological sequence of analysis/simulations
  and relationships made. An open resource
  integrates access to data, limited on-line
  visualisation and simulation tools.
• Beta version has been running within ANU,
  servicing an industry consortium for past 3
  years. Needs improved GUI.

Mango Morphy

• A software suite for parallel segmentation,
  network generation, pre- and post-processing,
  analysis and materials property simulation on
  large 3D datasets. Allows multiscale, multimodal
  registration for 2D and 3D datasets.
• Mature code base, mature GUI 12 years in
  development (ANU/UNSW).

Drishti MahaDrishti

• Developed keeping in mind the end-use
  visualizing 3D X-ray or electron tomographic
  data, confocal data, etc. by non-technical
  specialists. Drishti is used it for exploration,
  measurement and presentation. A standalone code.
  Open-source. Maha renders arbitrarily large
  datasets on standard desktop.
• Mature world wide user-base (6 years in
  continuous development)
• A cut-down browsed version exists in beta (run
  from GPU-cluster).

EPINET

• The EPINET project explores crystalline
  frameworks (or networks) in 3D. The aim is to
  enumerate networks with a broad spectrum of
  properties that are of possible interest to
  geometers, structural chemists, and statistical
  physicists. The extraordinary wealth of
  hyperbolic tilings allows us to enumerate
  networks and their spatial realisations with
  greater breadth than conventional approaches.
• 8 years in development

Next stages

• The development of a robust GUI for Plexus is
  required. This should integrate the tools of
  Mango and Morphy, Epinet and the on-line renderer
  for rapid exploration of the database. Drishti
  also requires continued development in response
  to user requests.
• Plexus development 1 FTE for 18 months
• Drishti development 1 FTE for 2 years
• Plexus and Drishti will remain open source.
• Margo and Morphy will remain open access.
