ENHANCEMENT OF COMPUTER PROCESSING OF CRYSTALLINE OBJECTS

我们继续改进和维护IMAGE软件I.C.E. X-Window Motif图形对结晶物体的分析 管理系统。利用WEB服务器，我们开发了一个在线的 演示了该程序包，简化了用户下载。 我们已将国际刑事法院的三个组成部分合并为一个。几个 可以注意到重大的改进。光谱，最古老的部分 包，已完全重写为当前标准，错误 移除，用户界面得到改进。它是使用以下工具编写的 Builder Xcessory，一个现代代码生成和维护包， 这将使包的维护和扩展变得容易得多。这个 扩展能力的同时努力包括：i)一个数据库 对于每个项目，其中保留了有关 数据集和二)采用新的图像处理方案 生物束晶体类型。这款软件一直免费 分发给科学界。目前，我们有一个用户 由40多个实验室组成的社区，他们已经下载了这个 打包到他们的电脑上。

We continue to improve and maintain the software I.C.E. for image analysis of crystalline objects using the X-window motif graphics management system. Using the Web server, we have developed an on-line demonstration of the package and simplified the downloading for users. We have consolidated the three components of I.C.E. into one. Several major improvements can be noted. Spectra, the oldest part of the package, has been completely rewritten to current standards, bugs removed, and the user interface improved. It was written using Builder Xcessory, a modern code generation and maintenance package, which will make upkeep and extension of the package much easier. The concurrent efforts to extend the capabilities include i) a database for each project with full information kept about each image in the data set and ii) incorporation of new image processing schemes for the biological bundle crystal types. This software has been freely distributed to the scientific community. Currently, we have an user community of more than 40 laboratories that have downloaded this package to their computers.
