Analysis: initialize class with raw images? #7

Hi, In you very nice and clean code I miss one bit: given the raw series of camera images how should I initialize the analysis class? In your code you seem to import already preprocessed data. Thanks!

zhuangjun1981 commented 7 years ago

This is right. Because of the various hardware and software that people are using for acquiring images, there is no universal way to preprocess data. I assume all the preprocessing will converge to an intermediate stage that is universal. That is an azimuth map and an altitude map of cortex (ideally also a vasculature map), all in same size. My jupyter notebook example starts from there, calculating the visual sign map and segmenting the sign map into several patches (putative visual areas).

I have updated the example notebook to describe the preprocessing steps to generate altitude map and azimuth map.
