Interpolation Engine
This project simulates the passage of sodium and potassium ions across cell membranes (neurons). For more details see: Dr. Debra Fadool (Neuroscience-FSU) Hui Song Screenshots:
We use Motif to create 2D user interface elements. Following are some examples:

Data properties
Importance of this projectSince it is impossible to obtain all cell movements, only large differences are captured between each volume's geometry. In order to make a smooth simulation of the cell's movement, it could be useful to generate volumes between each time set.DescriptionI used the engine's philosophy from Open Inventor to implement this idea. The graphic below shows how this engine interchange data with others elements inside the system. The SoReadScalarFieldEngine is in charge of reading the volume data from a file. The file name for this engine is the Input value and the Output value is SoFScalarField. In this case SoFScalarField was modified to be able to load unsigned char type values instead of float type values. Two volumes data are the Inputs values of SoInterpScalarFieldEngine which is in charge of generating a new interpolated SoScalarField. InterpValue (SoSFloat) is the value that decide which volume is the Output.Example: V1(x,y,z) = 30 V2(x,y,z) = 128 InterpValue = .30 then Vn (x,y,z) = V1(x,y,z) + InterpValue*( V2(x,y,z)-V1(x,y,z)) = 59.4 The new volume (SoFScalarField) generated is the Input value to Maching Cube Engine
Screenshots: I croped the original volume (1024x1024x90) to get the volume region with more importan movement, then I select when a filopodium was coming out. This volume's size is 80x55x30.
