Map Manager is software to annotate and analyze image volume time-series

News

• We are seeding Map Manager to beta testers, go to the download page to request a copy.

Features

• Track 3D annotations in time-series images including dendritic spines and cell bodies.
• Semi-automatically identifies corresponding annotations between time-points.
• Automatically aligns images between time-points.
• Designed to work with any 3D image volume including in vivo, ex vivo, and fixed tissue.

Analysis

• Track the dynamics of 3D annotations including persistence, addition, subtraction, and transient.
• Trajectory analysis to track the motility of annotations.
• Neuronal spine intensity analysis.

Gallery

• Please see the gallery for screenshots and movies of Map Manager in action.

Getting started

• Annotating a stack.
• Making a map.

Extending Map Manager analysis

• Map Manager - Matlab - A Matlab class library to load, analyze, and plot Map Manager files. Allows for arbitrary new analysis to be easily scripted.
• PyMapManager - A Python package to load, analyze, and plot Map Manager files. Allows for arbitrary new analysis to be easily scripted.
