SURFACE PROCESSING TOOL
OLEG POLYAKOV | PRINCETON UNIVERSITY | 2008-2013

This program, called FIT, allows you to manually fit a curve to an image. One can then unfold the surface with some specified width to have an image of that surface. This tool was used to measure the basal myosin intensity during gastrulation of cross sectioned emrbyos. 

The data to be processed is stored in the folder 'DATA'. In this program it is stored as a .mat file. However the program FIT can be modified to work for whatever datatype you need.

The file 'time_order.mat' allows you to sort the embyos as they are loaded from DATA so that they are shown sequentially in the GUI.

Using the GUI you can manually fit a surface to the embryo. These surfaces are saved in the folder SURFACES, and the unfolded stacks are saved in the folder STACKS.

Once again, this program is meant to serve as a template, and I recommend you to use it to build whatever program suits your needs best!
