CORE--COMPUTATION AND ALGORITHMS

计算核心将为所有 项目和MRI核心。将以建立 以及维护硬件和软件工具，以便： * 用于指定目标的用户界面 * 数据采集 * 预处理/几何创建/伪影减少 * 渲染技术 * 动画制作/存储/传播 * Atlas的制作/储存/传播 * 计算基础设施 (disk备份、网络维护、软件工程工具等） * 视频网络设置和操作 * 软件支持和通用工具，以实现 不同的计算环境（不同的工作站，PC，Mac， 专用并行计算机等）和数字图像格式 该核心的主要产品之一将是在线数字档案 图像、模型、动画和数据集，以及计算工具， 使用它们.从这个档案，我们可以生产35毫米幻灯片，l 6毫米胶片， 录像带和光盘数据集，以供传播和分发。的 传播的媒体将有助于各种各样的研究， 教学目的，从解剖学到分析。计算工具和 图书馆的制作最初将利用 现有的硬件和软件工具。这些工具将得到加强， 集成到可靠的软件库中。

The computational core will provide crucial support for all of the Projects and MRI Core. Support will be provided in the form of setting up and maintaining hardware and software tools for: * User interfaces for specifying goals * Data acquisition * Preprocessing/geometry creation/artifact reduction * Rendering techniques * Animation production/storage/dissemination * Atlas production/storage/dissemination * Computational infrastructure (disk backup, network maintenance, tools for software engineering, etc.) * Video network setup and operation * Software support and common tools for "interoperability" between different computational environments (different workstations, PC's, Macs, specialized parallel computers, etc.) and digital image formats One of the main products of this Core will be an on-line digital archive of images, models, animations and data sets, and computational tools to use them. From this archive, we can produce 35mm slides, l6mm film, NTSC videotapes and CD-ROM data sets for dissemination and distribution. The disseminated media will be useful for a wide variety of research and teaching purposes, from anatomy to analysis. Computational tools and library production will initially be leveraged from a collection of existing hardware and software tools. These tools will be enhanced and integrated into a reliable software library.
