Aligning Images in the 3D Point Alignment Wizard
- You have opened a ZEN Connect project.
- In the correlative workspace or in the ZEN Connect tool, select the image(s) you want to align.
- In the ZEN Connect tool, for the Alignment button, select Point Alignment 3D Wizard and click on it.
- The ZEN Connect 3D Point Alignment Wizard opens.
- In the left image window (Tomo3D view), select the 2D image view you want to use from the dropdown as points for alignment can only be set in the 2D views.
- In the list on the left, click
to add as many points as necessary for your point alignment.
With one point only a translation operation is possible, with two translation and rotation, and four or more points enable all transformations.
- In the Algorithm dropdown list, select the alignment operations you want to perform.
- Click Draw for the first point.
- You enter the drawing mode for the first point.
- In the Image Window on the left, click to set the point in your image(s) (Subject point).
- In the Project Window on the right, click to set the corresponding location for this point in the project (Reference point).
- Both color makers in the table are green and the first point for the alignment is set successfully.
- Repeat these steps for every point you add/need.
- If necessary, use the controls in the Dimensions tabs, e.g. to switch to a different z-slice to set the points on specific z-levels.
- If necessary, change the left image view via the dropdown to add or check points in other 2D image dimensions.
- The view changes to the selected 2D image dimensions.
- If you want to redraw a point pair, click Redraw and click to set the new positions in both windows.
- Click Next.
- The second step of the wizard opens. It displays a preview of the final alignment result and values for the parameter changes.
- If you want to change the alignment, click Back to get back to the previous step. Otherwise, click Finish to save the alignment and close the wizard.
- You have aligned the selected image(s) in the ZEN Connect project.
