Introduction to Velocity

Key Features

• Analyze data from several sources.
• Visualize your data using the hardware accelerated 2D and 3D graphics of OpenGL.
• Take advantage of image processing features such as region of interest (ROI) functionality and a suite of image analysis routines.
• Create surface reconstructions.
• Edit the 3D objects.
• Perform accurate analysis of 3D objects.
• Stereolithographic output for rapid prototyping.

The sections included in this tutorial provide a hands-on way to learn basic Velocity concepts and techniques. We demonstrate a number of common Velocity applications: reading data, image processing, surface reconstruction, and 3D visualization. Each section introduces basic Velocity concepts and highlights some of the commonly used Velocity commands.

You don't have to read all of the descriptive passages that accompany each section. Simply perform the Velocity action shown in bold type in either the image or display application and observe the results. If you want more information about a specific command, you can read the explanations in the reference books.

Each section is a demonstration of a particular Velocity feature. We recommend that you walk through each short, interactive section to preserve continuity, since many commands rely upon previous commands. Each section assumes the most basic level of Velocity experience.
