<		Monday 10 June 2019 - Joe Kelleher EnginX - part of the CCPi Working Group meeting: video conference event ‘Neutron diffraction and imaging on Engin-X for multi-scale characterisation’. Abstract: Characterisation and analysis of engineering structures from the atomic up to the macroscale is often needed for a full understanding of their behaviour. Neutrons are a versatile probe for such characterisation, as the wavelengths of neutrons needed for diffraction from common crystalline materials can easily achieve penetrations of several centimetres in common engineering materials. Here, we show examples of engineering research on the Engin-X instrument at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron Source, while also demonstrating how these may be combined with complementary measurements on other instruments.*8 March 2018* Manchester Inverse Imaging Goup Seminar: Alan Turing Building, Frank Adams 2 at 2pm Prof Bill Lionheart "Histotomography"

Friday 20th August 2013 tn_tncAug-13.jpg The Hartee Centre in collaboration with Harwell Imaging Partnership (HIP) has opened a visualisation facility in the Atlas building in RAL. This is located in the CR08 room which is fully refurbished and fitted with an immersive 3D system including head tracking.The aim is for software sharing and dissemination; and to this end a three year software contract for Avizo (3D Volume Visualisation from VSG[FEI]) has been purchased across SCD, DLS and RCaH.There is a dedicated 10GbE network connection between this room and the Hartree Centre’s IBM BlueGene and Blue Wonder computers at Daresbury Lab for visualising application results. This facility also has two high memory visualisation machine each with ½ TB RAM. They are installed with most of the popular open source visualisation applications and some commercial applications including Avizo (http://www.vsg3d.com/avizo/overview); ideal for example for quantitative visualisation of tomographic image volumes as collected at Diamond.

  Training Diamond Manchester Collaboration, CCPi and HIP, the University of Manchester and Diamond Light Source will be running a 2 day course on the Visualisation and quantification of tomographic data. The course will be based both around open-source software (ImageJ) and commercial software AVIZO Software course. This is the fourth training course of this kind to be offered by the Diamond Manchester Collaboration and will be on the 16th and 17th of April 2015 at Diamond Light Source. The course will consist of a lecture and hands-on exercises intended for new or existing users of Avizo software. Attendee capacity for the training is limited to 25 so if you are interested please register with me at your earliest opportunity. As we are also training future trainers, people volunteering to help in future courses will be given priority.

<		14 May 2019: Wen Zhang Title: Investigation of fatigue overload retardation mechanisms in Ni as a function of grain size

Abstract: Overload fatigue test results are presented for high purity nickel with grain sizes ranging from micrometres down to nanometres. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and digital image correlation (DIC) were applied in situ to map the through-thickness strain field and surface displacement field respectively before, during and after overload. The variation in residual stress and stress intensity factor (SIF) was evaluated from the diffraction strain field while the changes of crack length, crack opening displacement and SIF range were determined from the DIC displacement field. Retardation was observed for all the samples at low stress ratio (R=0.1). The fatigue crack growth (FCG) for the microcrystalline sample (grain size greater than 1 µm) was the most retarded after overload because of its more tortuous and rougher crack surface, larger overload plastic zone and hence more significant crack face contact. While for the nanocrystalline sample (grain size below 100 nm) the FCG was least affected by overload due to the relatively straight and flat crack surface, very small plastic zone size and therefore limited residual stress and no evident crack closure. The decrease in FCG for ultrafine grained (UFG) nickel (with grain size between 1 µm and 100 nm) is not only resulted from overload-induced residual stress and crack closure, but also the crack deflection caused by the anisotropic microstructure. More significant residual stress and crack closure were observed for the UFG sample with elongated microstructure aligned perpendicular to the crack propagation direction.

Dan Symes and Ceri Brenner:

"Tomographic imaging using intense laser-driven radiation sources": High power lasers (> 100 TW) can be used as the driver for compact light sources that deliver extreme brightness ultrashort x-ray pulses ideally suited for advanced imaging applications. The laser is used to create a cm-scale plasma accelerator generating femtosecond relativistic electron bunches with GeV? energy that can be converted to x-ray beams through a plasma betatron process or bremsstrahlung radiation. This produces up to 1010 photons per pulse in the x-ray region spanning 10 keV up to multi-MeV. The beam is spatially coherent because of the micron-scale source size, enabling phase enhanced imaging to improve contrast between low Z materials with similar density. Using the Gemini laser at RAL we have demonstrated high resolution micro-CT of biological samples and NDE of industrial components. The same laser can generate x-ray energies in the 10’s keV range for soft tissue, low density polymer and composite materials and in the multi-MeV range for penetration of large dense samples such as automotive or aerospace components. Commercialisation of high power laser technology has led to robust, well-characterised systems that are relatively compact and affordable. In the next few years, we expect to develop laser-plasma accelerators as dedicated x-ray machines, capable of micron resolution tomography with high frame rate. This shift from conducting proof-of-principle experiments to operating a synchrotron-style beam brings challenges for our research community – it is necessary for us to build expertise in handling large datasets, image processing, and tomographic reconstruction. We will present the status of CT using laser-driven sources with a view to discussion of how we can engage with the imaging community and what new opportunities may arise for the CCPi network.

A Hartree Perspective: Working with STFC Opportunities - Tim Kirkham (12:45pm)

The Bridging for Innovators https://www.stfc.ac.uk/b4i programme runs across all STFC facilities and gives business the opportunity to work with STFC facilities and Scientists on up to a full funded basis. There is an opportunity to strengthen links between STFC and Universities by businesses linked to Universities working on this programme to combine expertise. Such an opportunity exists potentially at centres such as the Royce, and this talk will give an over view of this opportunity and welcome ideas to stimulate collaboration.

...presenting her experiences to data including work at Nikon Metrolgy and plans for the future - also review of iCT ...'very application heavy this year. Every other year it is based in Wels, and ... little more research orientated. The industry talks only take up one morning, and there was a lot of input from research groups around Europe. This year ~350 attendees, so the conference is probably the largest XCT one in Europe - there were a couple of posters on multi-spectral CT, and reconstruction is always a popular topic."

tn_tncJan-17b.jpg Abstract; "SuRVoS brings together machine learning models, computer vision techniques and human knowledge within a user interface to interactively segment large 3D volumes. The user interface of SuRVoS is divided in two panels. One panel contains all the available plugins (or tools) and the other panel, instead, resides the visualisation panel (where everything made with SuRVoS will be visualised) and another two main workflows. SuRVoS is able to work with very large datasets by means of its Region Of Interest (ROI) system and a HDF5 workspace. Everything loaded with SuRVoS and every action made within it will be saved in a workspace folder inside an HDF5 file. HDF5 is an on-disk data format that loads only the required data on memory. By using ROIs, SuRVoS limits all its actions to the selected ROI, which allows the user to load large datasets but operate only in small windows, also improving the performance of all the subsequent actions."It has been developed jointly between the University of Nottingham, UK and Diamond Light Source, UK and is open source: https://diamondlightsource.github.io/SuRVoS/ imanol.luengo@nottingham.ac.uk

  Abstract: Imaging techniques play an important role in several research fields: medicine, biology, material science, geosciences and archaeology. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques are widely adopted tools for the investigation of the texture and morphology in a large range of materials. Imaging techniques based on hard X-ray are also of particular interest and microradiography has proved to be useful for clinical diagnostics and for the investigation of crystal growth.

<		In recent years great interest has been posed on X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) techniques, employing microfocus and synchrotron radiation sources. These techniques produce three-dimensional (3D) or 4D (dynamic microCT) images of the internal structure of objects with a spatial resolution at the micron- and submicron- scale. Investigations performed directly in the 3D domain overcome the limitations of stereological methods usually applied to microscopy-based analyses and a non-destructive approach is more suitable for further complementary analyses and for precious or unique samples (fossils and archeological finds, in-vivo and in-situ imaging, etc …).

  An intriguing challenge is to extract directly from 3D and 4D images quantitative parameters related to the physical properties of the studied materials. Porosity and specific surface area as well as anisotropy, connectivity and tortuosity are interesting descriptors of a 3D model. However, accurate image processing and analysis methods for an effective assessment of these parameters are still an open issue in several applications.

tn_tncSep-16.jpg Materials tomography using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) involves a number of steps to go from projection images taken on the microscope to an aligned, reconstructed 3D volume. The Tomviz project builds upon a number of open source frameworks to deliver a powerful desktop application for research, leveraging the Python environment along with a number of scientific Python modules to deliver a comprehensive solution for materials tomography at nanoscale to atomic resolution. The development of the application will be discussed, along with the Pythonbased data processing pipeline, and the XML format used to enable complex, reproducible data processing and visualization pipelines. The application is based on Qt, VTK, ParaView, and ITK with a bundled Python distribution making use of NumPy, SciPy, and Python wrapped ITK/ParaView to offer a powerful visualization and data analysis application. The development, packaging, and deployment of a robust, crossplatform application for materials tomography will be discussed. The current state of reproducible analysis and data processing pipelines demonstrated, and future directions will be discussed. The use of Python will be demonstrated within this context. Reproducibility is a key problem in science, and complex data collection, alignment, reconstruction, and processing pipeline are particularly important. This project is funded by the DOE SBIR program, and is an active collaboration between developers at Kitware and scientists at Cornell University. AVF (RAL) and then at University of Manchester.

<		6 July 2016, 2:00pm-3:00pm at RAL AND 11 July 2016 at DL SCD Seminar: Dave Pugmire (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), "Visualization and Analysis Services for Extreme Scale Supercomputers" The scientific data that are being generated today, and in the near future, will quickly outpace our ability to process and understand it. The data generated are growing in multiple ways, including the size of the data, the rate at which it arrives, and the varying types of data. Additionally, data are available from multiple sources, including for example, computational simulations and sensor data extracted from experiments. In such situations, workflows for the movement and management of data, as well as the analysis and visualization while the data are in transit, become even more critical, and increasingly challenging. At the same time, revolutionary changes are emerging in the architectures of supercomputers. These changes include tremendous increases in concurrency on each node, as well as a deep hierarchy of memory. These architectures are a challenge for currently running HPC codes, as well as visualization and analysis algorithms. We are, along with collaborators at other national laboratories, and universities, researching and developing a cohesive framework that will enable scientists to manage the growing data problem, and to enable them to extract knowledge and insight. Central to this work is a “Service Oriented Architectures” (SOA) framework that provides a clear separation from the data producers and consumers. Our framework is based on the ADIOS middleware layer, that manages the data as they are produced, and orchestrates movement through the deep memory hierarchy. The data consumers, in this case visualization and analysis services built from tools like VisIt, ParaView, VTK-m, and pbdR, will interact with the middleware layer for access to data, and for coordination to optimize access across the deep memory hierarchy. These services, which will be self-consistent, interoperable operations will enable scientists to construct multiple complex workflows. This talk will present the preliminary research on the development of this framework and the associated services as well as the initial results obtained working with several large-scale simulation codes running on the Titan supercomputer at ORNL. And finally, a detailed discussion on the future research plans and directions that will enable scientific insight on exascale computing systems.

tn_tncJan-16.jpg Jakob Sauer Jørgensen, Technical University of Denmark How few projections are enough? Predicting performance of sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography Sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography has shown large promise for accurate reconstruction from reduced data, potentially leading to substantially reduced patient X-ray exposure in medical imaging and shorter scan times in materials science. Compressed sensing (CS) has motivated these developments by offering guarantees of accurate reconstruction of sparse images from reduced data under suitable assumptions on the sampling matrix. However, existing CS guarantees, e.g., based on the restricted isometry property (RIP), do not apply to structured and sparse sampling matrices in X-ray tomography. The empirical success of sparsity regulaization in X-ray tomography therefore remains theoretically unexplained. In this seminar I will describe our attempts of establishing a connection between image sparsity and the amount of undersampling admitted by sparsity-regularized reconstruction methods. In particular, I will describe simulation results suggesting how one may predict the sufficient number of projections to acquire based on the sparsity level of the scanned object. I will then describe preliminary results of validation with real data using the SophiaBeads data set recently released from the University of Manchester.

tn_tncOct-15.jpg Antoniu Pop Programming and Optimizing Task Data-Flow Applications with OpenStream and Aftermath Dynamic task-dependent parallelism is an increasingly popular programming model on shared-memory systems. Compared to data parallel loop-based concurrency, it promises enhanced scalability, load balancing and locality. These promises, however, are undermined by non-uniform memory access (NUMA). We show that it is possible to preserve the uniform hardware abstraction of contemporary task-parallel programming models, for both computing and memory resources, while achieving near-optimal data locality. Our run-time algorithms for NUMA-aware task and data placement are fully automatic, application-independent, performance-portable across NUMA machines, and adapt to dynamic changes. We take advantage of data-flow style task parallelism, where the privatization of task data enhances scalability through the elimination of false dependences, and enable fine-grained dynamic control over the placement of application data.In a second part, we present Aftermath, an interactive visualization tool for post-mortem trace analysis of cross-layer performance anomalies in dynamic task-parallel applications. We focus on the detection of anomalies inaccessible to state-of-the-art performance analysis techniques, including anomalies deriving from the interaction of multiple levels of software abstractions, anomalies associated with the hardware, and anomalies resulting from interferences between optimizations in the application and run-time system. Aftermath supports filtering, aggregation and joint visualization of key metrics and performance indicators, such as task duration, run-time state, hardware performance counters and data transfers. While not being specifically designed for NUMA architectures, Aftermath takes advantage of the explicit memory regions and dependence information in dependent task models to precisely capture long-distance and inter-core effects on complex, dynamic applications.

Held at the Photon Science Institute, home to the Henry Mosely X-Ray Imaging Facility (immediately prior to the Tomography for Scientific Advancement Symposium on 3rd-4th September). 2 September 2015 10am-1pm Drishti/Prayog training course - New topics and advanced use within version 2.6 of Drishti including updated version of Paint (release in July 2015; https://github.com/AjayLimaye/drishti/releases) 2 September 2015 1:30pm-4:30pm Avizo training course: 2 workflows related to analysis of fibrous materials will be presented. The second use-case is based a PhD student of Philip Withers, Bo Yu, and illustrates advanced usage of Avizo modules for segmentation. Rémi Blanc "Fibre analysis with Avizo" Abstract: The presentation will highlight different usages of Avizo for tackling with fibrous materials. We consider two major use cases. First, in the case of high magnification with resolved fibers, we will present our recent XFiber extension for tracing the centerline of cylindrical fibers and extracting statistics about the length, orientation, or curvature. The second use case will consider woven composites imaged at lower magnification, where individual fibers cannot be distinguished but the oriented texture of the yarns is visible. We will detail an advanced workflow for classifying the yarns based on their orientation. (http://www.avizo3d.com) 2 September 2015 4pm-5pm IVG (Interactive Visualisation Group), update meeting.

2pm-3pm: Friday 24 April 2015 tn_tncApr-15.jpg The Avizo VR Module enables advanced data visualization and analysis with large tiled displays as well as immersive VR configurations like CAVEs. With its unique set of features this Option represents Virtual Reality ready application for scientific and medical visualization in immersive environments. This provides; Full immersive 3D interaction; Support for single and multiple screens; Support for single and multi-pipe and for graphic clusters; Flexible customization for specific display geometry; Head-tracking and tracked hand-held 3D input devices; Control functionality via user interface; and Control of 2D user interfaces with 3D devices (virtual mouse).Local host for this event is Sri Nagella (srikanth.nagella@stfc.ac.uk) 2pm-3pm: Friday 27 March 2015 tn_tncMar-15b.jpg "Noctylio: advanced image analysis software" Sarah Dubreucq, Benoit Recur, Eric Dehez (Noctylio SAS http://www.noctylio.com/) Noctylab v1.0 is a 3D imaging software including a large range of up-to-date image and signal processing algorithms as standards, different 3D visualisation modes such as surface and volume rendering, as well as image and signal analysis, measures and quantification tools. Noctylab v1.0 handles processing sequences that can be created, optimized and thus launched on large datasets in order to maximize computing resource usage and minimize user interactions. Specifically, we will show how Noctylab v1.0 implements tubular shape analysis sequence (archeo-bronchial tree or vascularity) based on 3D skeletonization and topology, in order to get caliber measures along branches. Moreover, the software adaptability allows the exploitation of all these tools from new imaging modalities, such as THz scanners. We will also introduce tools dedicated to hyper-spectral analysis and adapted to time-domain spectroscopy or 3D THz imaging. Such tools aim at combining both image and signal processing techniques to obtain 3D visualisation and benefit from image-based measures/analysis tools from hyper-spectral signals.

3pm-4pm Friday 26th September 2014 tn_tncSep-14bb.jpg "Image-based simulation of diffusion and flows within experimental volumetric data sets Dr Marcus Campbell Bannerman, University of Aberdeen" Seminar in R89/S44 With the proliferation and availability of X-ray imaging facilities, the size of volumetric data sets and their rate of collection has increased by orders of magnitude in recent years. The manual reconstruction of these transmission images, image analysis, and extraction of indirect information through simulation is rate limiting as it requires extensive user input and experience. In order to remove this barrier, and to provide the additional benefit of image-based modelling, we believe the integration and automation of a “data pipeline” is required and this is the focus of a recent EPSRC sponsorship award (EP/L026716/1). The first part of this presentation will introduce some early work on a new mesh-free method for statistical simulation of molecular flows within the domain of an imaged pore-space. This work uses the DynamO code (http://dynamomd.org) and overcomes the difficulty of automated mesh generation by directly using the image data-set as the domain of the simulation. This allows a time-to-simulation of the order of hours rather than days for extraction of parameters such as anisotropic diffusion coefficients. The second part of the talk will present the visualisation library of DynamO. This software allows the real-time visualisation of large (N=10^6) systems of particles and volumetric data using a variety of techniques (instancing, bill-boarding, ray-tracing, HDR). Both topics are presented as works in progress, so feedback with vigorous debate and discussion is welcome and highly encouraged! This will be at 3pm in S44 room in R89. 10am-3pm Monday 8th September 2014 tn_tncSep-14.jpg "Drishti 2.5 Workshop" Drishti 2.5 has just been released on 27 July 2014, and on Monday 8 September, Ajay Limaye is arriving at RAL to give a workshop and discussion of the features.

For Materials Science users there are two main features; improved FFT, Porosity calculations and also direct links to FEI imaging machines. http://www.vsg3d.com/sites/default/files/WhatsNewAvizo81.pdf Email Sri (srikanth.nagella@stfc.ac.uk) to book a spot - being held in RAL, please email as limited space. 3pm, Friday 28th March 2014 tn_tncMar-14.jpg Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) from LaVision - a novel tool for quantifying full-field displacement and strains" Abstract: Dave Hollis from LaVision will be discussing DVC. Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a novel tool for quantifying full-field displacement and strains throughout material volumes having undergone deformation. The technique is an extension of 2D digital image correlation and uses the conservation of gray-scale levels of 3D volumes obtained using a volume imaging technique such as X-ray CT. The material’s natural or artificially introduced internal pattern is tracked between subsequent volumes allowing the investigator to truly understand the subsurface material behaviour and validate complex simulations. In this meeting Dave Hollis from LaVision (dhollis at lavision.com) will give an overview of the technique and show some of the results possible. Also present will be Faye Gillard of The University of Southampton muVis centre, and has experience of applying DVC to a variety of materials and test cases. Faye is a Knowledge Transfer Secondee (KTS) working with muvis and LaVision to further develop the technique by exploring new materials and applications. There will be ample opportunity to discuss DVC with Dave and Faye during this meeting. The meeting will start at 3pm in the Atlas Visualisation Facility. This can be found in the Atlas Building at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus. https://eventbooking.stfc.ac.uk/news-events/3d-volume-data-visualisation-mar14

For Materials Science users there are two main features; improved FFT, Porosity calculations and also direct links to FEI imaging machines. http://www.vsg3d.com/sites/default/files/WhatsNewAvizo81.pdf Email Sri (srikanth.nagella@stfc.ac.uk) to book a spot - being held in RAL, please email as limited space. 3pm, Friday 28th March 2014 tn_tncMar-14.jpg Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) from LaVision - a novel tool for quantifying full-field displacement and strains" Abstract: Dave Hollis from LaVision will be discussing DVC. Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a novel tool for quantifying full-field displacement and strains throughout material volumes having undergone deformation. The technique is an extension of 2D digital image correlation and uses the conservation of gray-scale levels of 3D volumes obtained using a volume imaging technique such as X-ray CT. The material’s natural or artificially introduced internal pattern is tracked between subsequent volumes allowing the investigator to truly understand the subsurface material behaviour and validate complex simulations. In this meeting Dave Hollis from LaVision (dhollis at lavision.com) will give an overview of the technique and show some of the results possible. Also present will be Faye Gillard of The University of Southampton muVis centre, and has experience of applying DVC to a variety of materials and test cases. Faye is a Knowledge Transfer Secondee (KTS) working with muvis and LaVision to further develop the technique by exploring new materials and applications. There will be ample opportunity to discuss DVC with Dave and Faye during this meeting. The meeting will start at 3pm in the Atlas Visualisation Facility. This can be found in the Atlas Building at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus. https://eventbooking.stfc.ac.uk/news-events/3d-volume-data-visualisation-mar14

The University of Manchester has recently purchased a Rapiscan RTT x-ray CT Machine, located in the School of Materials' Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility (HMXIF). The RTT110 is capable of producing 3D images in real time, making it the fastest imager in the UK. Currently set-up for airport baggage scanning, we aim to adapt the machine to utilise its potential for a wide range of experiments, such as granular and multi-phase flows using dynamic x-ray CT. This will be at 3pm at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus: in R89/Room S44 and room Arkwright in DL.

<		Abstract: The Harwell Imaging Partnership (HIP) was established to promote industrial engagement with STFC large facilities by fostering interactions between industrial researchers, STFC facility scientists and university research groups. In this context, “imaging” includes microscopy, tomography, and ‘functional imaging’, in which properties of complex structures are mapped with high spatial resolution using X-rays, neutrons or lasers. SCD is being considered actively as a ‘facility’ in its own right in this context. A set of case studies based on data transfer, portal interaction, remote access including computation, as well as visualisation specialisms have all been added to the HIP portfolio. This introductory short session will cover some of the opportunities available by working with the HIP as well as future proposed new centre interactions.

 "Tomographic imaging using intense laser-driven radiation sources": High power lasers (> 100 TW) can be used as the driver for compact light sources that deliver extreme brightness ultrashort x-ray pulses ideally suited for advanced imaging applications. The laser is used to create a cm-scale plasma accelerator generating femtosecond relativistic electron bunches with GeV? energy that can be converted to x-ray beams through a plasma betatron process or bremsstrahlung radiation. This produces up to 1010 photons per pulse in the x-ray region spanning 10 keV up to multi-MeV. The beam is spatially coherent because of the micron-scale source size, enabling phase enhanced imaging to improve contrast between low Z materials with similar density. Using the Gemini laser at RAL we have demonstrated high resolution micro-CT of biological samples and NDE of industrial components. The same laser can generate x-ray energies in the 10’s keV range for soft tissue, low density polymer and composite materials and in the multi-MeV range for penetration of large dense samples such as automotive or aerospace components. Commercialisation of high power laser technology has led to robust, well-characterised systems that are relatively compact and affordable. In the next few years, we expect to develop laser-plasma accelerators as dedicated x-ray machines, capable of micron resolution tomography with high frame rate. This shift from conducting proof-of-principle experiments to operating a synchrotron-style beam brings challenges for our research community – it is necessary for us to build expertise in handling large datasets, image processing, and tomographic reconstruction. We will present the status of CT using laser-driven sources with a view to discussion of how we can engage with the imaging community and what new opportunities may arise for the CCPi network.

A Hartree Perspective: Working with STFC Opportunities - Tim Kirkham (12:45pm)

The Bridging for Innovators https://www.stfc.ac.uk/b4i programme runs across all STFC facilities and gives business the opportunity to work with STFC facilities and Scientists on up to a full funded basis. There is an opportunity to strengthen links between STFC and Universities by businesses linked to Universities working on this programme to combine expertise. Such an opportunity exists potentially at centres such as the Royce, and this talk will give an over view of this opportunity and welcome ideas to stimulate collaboration.

Introduction new staff and description of ICT'2019, Gemma Fardell

...presenting her experiences to data including work at Nikon Metrolgy and plans for the future - also review of iCT ...'very application heavy this year. Every other year it is based in Wels, and ... little more research orientated. The industry talks only take up one morning, and there was a lot of input from research groups around Europe. This year ~350 attendees, so the conference is probably the largest XCT one in Europe - there were a couple of posters on multi-spectral CT, and reconstruction is always a popular topic."

The Tomviz project builds upon a number of open source frameworks to deliver a powerful desktop application for research, leveraging the Python environment along with a number of scientific Python modules to deliver a comprehensive solution for materials tomography at nanoscale to atomic resolution. The development of the application will be discussed, along with the Pythonbased data processing pipeline, and the XML format used to enable complex, reproducible data processing and visualization pipelines. The application is based on Qt, VTK, ParaView, and ITK with a bundled Python distribution making use of NumPy, SciPy, and Python wrapped ITK/ParaView to offer a powerful visualization and data analysis application. The development, packaging, and deployment of a robust, crossplatform application for materials tomography will be discussed. The current state of reproducible analysis and data processing pipelines demonstrated, and future directions will be discussed. The use of Python will be demonstrated within this context. Reproducibility is a key problem in science, and complex data collection, alignment, reconstruction, and processing pipeline are particularly important. This project is funded by the DOE SBIR program, and is an active collaboration between developers at Kitware and scientists at Cornell University. AVF (RAL) and then at University of Manchester.

tn_tncJan-17b.jpg Abstract; "SuRVoS brings together machine learning models, computer vision techniques and human knowledge within a user interface to interactively segment large 3D volumes. The user interface of SuRVoS is divided in two panels. One panel contains all the available plugins (or tools) and the other panel, instead, resides the visualisation panel (where everything made with SuRVoS will be visualised) and another two main workflows. SuRVoS is able to work with very large datasets by means of its Region Of Interest (ROI) system and a HDF5 workspace. Everything loaded with SuRVoS and every action made within it will be saved in a workspace folder inside an HDF5 file. HDF5 is an on-disk data format that loads only the required data on memory. By using ROIs, SuRVoS limits all its actions to the selected ROI, which allows the user to load large datasets but operate only in small windows, also improving the performance of all the subsequent actions."It has been developed jointly between the University of Nottingham, UK and Diamond Light Source, UK and is open source: https://diamondlightsource.github.io/SuRVoS/ imanol.luengo@nottingham.ac.uk

Visiting CCPi Fellow; Friday 7 October 2016 Seminar 1pm in University of Manchester, Williamson Building, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, room G03.

Abstract: Imaging techniques play an important role in several research fields: medicine, biology, material science, geosciences and archaeology. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques are widely adopted tools for the investigation of the texture and morphology in a large range of materials. Imaging techniques based on hard X-ray are also of particular interest and microradiography has proved to be useful for clinical diagnostics and for the investigation of crystal growth.

In recent years great interest has been posed on X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) techniques, employing microfocus and synchrotron radiation sources. These techniques produce three-dimensional (3D) or 4D (dynamic microCT) images of the internal structure of objects with a spatial resolution at the micron- and submicron- scale. Investigations performed directly in the 3D domain overcome the limitations of stereological methods usually applied to microscopy-based analyses and a non-destructive approach is more suitable for further complementary analyses and for precious or unique samples (fossils and archeological finds, in-vivo and in-situ imaging, etc …).

An intriguing challenge is to extract directly from 3D and 4D images quantitative parameters related to the physical properties of the studied materials. Porosity and specific surface area as well as anisotropy, connectivity and tortuosity are interesting descriptors of a 3D model. However, accurate image processing and analysis methods for an effective assessment of these parameters are still an open issue in several applications.

Several scientific applications of advanced hard X-ray imaging techniques will be presented in this seminar, focusing our attention in the field of geomaterials. Examples of results obtained from the 3D morphological and textural characterization of crystals and pores in volcanic products, reservoir rocks as well as cement-based materials will be illustrated.

 14 July 2016, 11:00am at DL SCD Seminar, Hamish Carr (University of Leeds), "Topological Analysis and Visualisation" Over the past two decades, data generated either numerically or empirically has grown ever larger, while the human ability to process data has not. As a result, comprehension depends more and more on data analysis as a means of supporting (or supplanting) visualisation. One of the principal methods of exploiting analysis has been through the application of the mathematical discipline of topology, which studies invariant properties of functions. In practice, however, mathematics alone are not sufficient, and a significant effort has been required in computational algorithms for topological analysis, in building scalable software to implement them, in constructing user interfaces that take advantage of them, and in validating them by application to real world visualisation problems. In addition to this, however, these methods have also driven deeper understanding of the mathematical relationships between mathematical, computational and visual representations, and have thus uncovered hitherto unsuspected methods for visualising relationships between properties in numerical simulations. This talk will therefore concentrate on an overview of developments in the application of computational topology to visualisation and analysis tasks, but will also examine how the mathematics underlying these methods have also driven developments in non-topological visualisation

<		6 July 2016, 2:00pm-3:00pm SCD Seminar: Dave Pugmire (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), "Visualization and Analysis Services for Extreme Scale Supercomputers" The scientific data that are being generated today, and in the near future, will quickly outpace our ability to process and understand it. The data generated are growing in multiple ways, including the size of the data, the rate at which it arrives, and the varying types of data. Additionally, data are available from multiple sources, including for example, computational simulations and sensor data extracted from experiments. In such situations, workflows for the movement and management of data, as well as the analysis and visualization while the data are in transit, become even more critical, and increasingly challenging. At the same time, revolutionary changes are emerging in the architectures of supercomputers. These changes include tremendous increases in concurrency on each node, as well as a deep hierarchy of memory. These architectures are a challenge for currently running HPC codes, as well as visualization and analysis algorithms. We are, along with collaborators at other national laboratories, and universities, researching and developing a cohesive framework that will enable scientists to manage the growing data problem, and to enable them to extract knowledge and insight. Central to this work is a “Service Oriented Architectures” (SOA) framework that provides a clear separation from the data producers and consumers. Our framework is based on the ADIOS middleware layer, that manages the data as they are produced, and orchestrates movement through the deep memory hierarchy. The data consumers, in this case visualization and analysis services built from tools like VisIt, ParaView, VTK-m, and pbdR, will interact with the middleware layer for access to data, and for coordination to optimize access across the deep memory hierarchy. These services, which will be self-consistent, interoperable operations will enable scientists to construct multiple complex workflows. This talk will present the preliminary research on the development of this framework and the associated services as well as the initial results obtained working with several large-scale simulation codes running on the Titan supercomputer at ORNL. And finally, a detailed discussion on the future research plans and directions that will enable scientific insight on exascale computing systems.

tn_tncJan-16.jpg Jakob Sauer Jørgensen, Technical University of Denmark How few projections are enough? Predicting performance of sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography Sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography has shown large promise for accurate reconstruction from reduced data, potentially leading to substantially reduced patient X-ray exposure in medical imaging and shorter scan times in materials science. Compressed sensing (CS) has motivated these developments by offering guarantees of accurate reconstruction of sparse images from reduced data under suitable assumptions on the sampling matrix. However, existing CS guarantees, e.g., based on the restricted isometry property (RIP), do not apply to structured and sparse sampling matrices in X-ray tomography. The empirical success of sparsity regulaization in X-ray tomography therefore remains theoretically unexplained. In this seminar I will describe our attempts of establishing a connection between image sparsity and the amount of undersampling admitted by sparsity-regularized reconstruction methods. In particular, I will describe simulation results suggesting how one may predict the sufficient number of projections to acquire based on the sparsity level of the scanned object. I will then describe preliminary results of validation with real data using the SophiaBeads data set recently released from the University of Manchester.

<		PROVISIONAL SEMINAR: 2:00pm-3:00pm Wednesday 13 January 2016 Jakob Sauer Jørgensen Limited-data X-ray tomography and sparsity regularization Abstract: In this seminar I will give an overview of some recent results and ongoing projects within limited-data X-ray tomographic reconstruction and sparsity regularization. First, I will describe a special limited angle tomography problem in which metal bar sample holders cause cone-shaped parts missing in the sinogram. I will describe our attempts of characterizing and preliminary results of removing the resulting artifacts. Next, I will present a projection matching algorithm for automatically aligning tomographic projections of unknown exact orientation. In the present case we are interested in ultra-high resolution tomographic reconstruction from ptychography data. Currently, unknown sample translations and rotations at the nano-scale for example caused by vibration limit the achievable reconstruction quality. I will show preliminary results with simulated and real synchrotron ptychography data.

tn_tncJan-16.jpg Jakob Sauer Jørgensen, Technical University of Denmark How few projections are enough? Predicting performance of sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography Sparsity regularization in X-ray tomography has shown large promise for accurate reconstruction from reduced data, potentially leading to substantially reduced patient X-ray exposure in medical imaging and shorter scan times in materials science. Compressed sensing (CS) has motivated these developments by offering guarantees of accurate reconstruction of sparse images from reduced data under suitable assumptions on the sampling matrix. However, existing CS guarantees, e.g., based on the restricted isometry property (RIP), do not apply to structured and sparse sampling matrices in X-ray tomography. The empirical success of sparsity regulaization in X-ray tomography therefore remains theoretically unexplained. In this seminar I will describe our attempts of establishing a connection between image sparsity and the amount of undersampling admitted by sparsity-regularized reconstruction methods. In particular, I will describe simulation results suggesting how one may predict the sufficient number of projections to acquire based on the sparsity level of the scanned object. I will then describe preliminary results of validation with real data using the SophiaBeads data set recently released from the University of Manchester. S44 at R89 (RAL) and video-link to Arkwright, Daresbury Labs.

First, I will describe a special limited angle tomography problem in which metal bar sample holders cause cone-shaped parts missing in the sinogram. I will describe our attempts of characterizing and preliminary results of removing the resulting artifacts. Next, I will present a projection matching algorithm for automatically aligning tomographic projections of unknown exact orientation. In the present case we are interested in ultra-high resolution tomographic reconstruction from ptychography data. Currently, unknown sample translations and rotations at the nano-scale for example caused by vibration limit the achievable reconstruction quality. I will show preliminary results with simulated and real synchrotron ptychography data. Finally, I will mention our attempts of establishing a connection between image sparsity and the amount of undersampling admitted by sparsity-regularized reconstrution methods. In particular, I will describe simulation results suggesting how one may predict the sufficient number of projections to acquire based on the sparsity level of the scanned object.

tn_tncOct-15.jpg Antoniu Pop Programming and Optimizing Task Data-Flow Applications with OpenStream and Aftermath Dynamic task-dependent parallelism is an increasingly popular programming model on shared-memory systems. Compared to data parallel loop-based concurrency, it promises enhanced scalability, load balancing and locality. These promises, however, are undermined by non-uniform memory access (NUMA). We show that it is possible to preserve the uniform hardware abstraction of contemporary task-parallel programming models, for both computing and memory resources, while achieving near-optimal data locality. Our run-time algorithms for NUMA-aware task and data placement are fully automatic, application-independent, performance-portable across NUMA machines, and adapt to dynamic changes. We take advantage of data-flow style task parallelism, where the privatization of task data enhances scalability through the elimination of false dependences, and enable fine-grained dynamic control over the placement of application data.In a second part, we present Aftermath, an interactive visualization tool for post-mortem trace analysis of cross-layer performance anomalies in dynamic task-parallel applications. We focus on the detection of anomalies inaccessible to state-of-the-art performance analysis techniques, including anomalies deriving from the interaction of multiple levels of software abstractions, anomalies associated with the hardware, and anomalies resulting from interferences between optimizations in the application and run-time system. Aftermath supports filtering, aggregation and joint visualization of key metrics and performance indicators, such as task duration, run-time state, hardware performance counters and data transfers. While not being specifically designed for NUMA architectures, Aftermath takes advantage of the explicit memory regions and dependence information in dependent task models to precisely capture long-distance and inter-core effects on complex, dynamic applications.

tn_tncMar-15b.jpg "Noctylio: advanced image analysis software" Sarah Dubreucq, Benoit Recur, Eric Dehez (Noctylio SAS http://www.noctylio.com/) Noctylab v1.0 is a 3D imaging software including a large range of up-to-date image and signal processing algorithms as standards, different 3D visualisation modes such as surface and volume rendering, as well as image and signal analysis, measures and quantification tools. Noctylab v1.0 handles processing sequences that can be created, optimized and thus launched on large datasets in order to maximize computing resource usage and minimize user interactions. Specifically, we will show how Noctylab v1.0 implements tubular shape analysis sequence (archeo-bronchial tree or vascularity) based on 3D skeletonization and topology, in order to get caliber measures along branches. Moreover, the software adaptability allows the exploitation of all these tools from new imaging modalities, such as THz scanners. We will also introduce tools dedicated to hyper-spectral analysis and adapted to time-domain spectroscopy or 3D THz imaging. Such tools aim at combining both image and signal processing techniques to obtain 3D visualisation and benefit from image-based measures/analysis tools from hyper-spectral signals. This will be at 2pm at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus: in R89/Room S44 and room Arkwright in DL (and if there is demand to Manchester ICAM).

tn_tncOct-15.jpg Antoniu Pop Programming and Optimizing Task Data-Flow Applications with OpenStream and Aftermath Dynamic task-dependent parallelism is an increasingly popular programming model on shared-memory systems. Compared to data parallel loop-based concurrency, it promises enhanced scalability, load balancing and locality. These promises, however, are undermined by non-uniform memory access (NUMA). We show that it is possible to preserve the uniform hardware abstraction of contemporary task-parallel programming models, for both computing and memory resources, while achieving near-optimal data locality. Our run-time algorithms for NUMA-aware task and data placement are fully automatic, application-independent, performance-portable across NUMA machines, and adapt to dynamic changes. We take advantage of data-flow style task parallelism, where the privatization of task data enhances scalability through the elimination of false dependences, and enable fine-grained dynamic control over the placement of application data.In a second part, we present Aftermath, an interactive visualization tool for post-mortem trace analysis of cross-layer performance anomalies in dynamic task-parallel applications. We focus on the detection of anomalies inaccessible to state-of-the-art performance analysis techniques, including anomalies deriving from the interaction of multiple levels of software abstractions, anomalies associated with the hardware, and anomalies resulting from interferences between optimizations in the application and run-time system. Aftermath supports filtering, aggregation and joint visualization of key metrics and performance indicators, such as task duration, run-time state, hardware performance counters and data transfers. While not being specifically designed for NUMA architectures, Aftermath takes advantage of the explicit memory regions and dependence information in dependent task models to precisely capture long-distance and inter-core effects on complex, dynamic applications.

DREAM.3D is an architecture for computational microstructure tools that allows users to create ‘recipes’ or pipelines for processing digital instances of microstructure. DREAM.3D establishes a robust set of checks and development guidelines to enable singular codes to operate in conjunction, facilitating larger research efforts/goals Software Architecture: DREAM3D is written using many open-source libraries in a layered approach that allows developers and implementors to use just the parts that they want to use. DREAM3D has a robust plugin system where new functionality can be added by developers. The licensing allows for both proprietary and open-source plugins.

Held at the Photon Science Institute, home to the Henry Mosely X-Ray Imaging Facility (immediately prior to the Tomography for Scientific Advancement Symposium on 3rd-4th September). 2 September 2015 10am-1pm Drishti/Prayog training course - New topics and advanced use within version 2.6 of Drishti including updated version of Paint (release in July 2015; https://github.com/AjayLimaye/drishti/releases) 2 September 2015 1:30pm-4:30pm Avizo training course: 2 workflows related to analysis of fibrous materials will be presented. The second use-case is based a PhD student of Philip Withers, Bo Yu, and illustrates advanced usage of Avizo modules for segmentation. Rémi Blanc "Fibre analysis with Avizo" Abstract: The presentation will highlight different usages of Avizo for tackling with fibrous materials. We consider two major use cases. First, in the case of high magnification with resolved fibers, we will present our recent XFiber extension for tracing the centerline of cylindrical fibers and extracting statistics about the length, orientation, or curvature. The second use case will consider woven composites imaged at lower magnification, where individual fibers cannot be distinguished but the oriented texture of the yarns is visible. We will detail an advanced workflow for classifying the yarns based on their orientation. (http://www.avizo3d.com) 2 September 2015 4pm-5pm IVG (Interactive Visualisation Group), update meeting. Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first serve basis. To book your place please e-mail your name, institution and any dietary requirements to kate.a.meade@manchester.ac.uk

Coffee-and-Tomo Session: 3pm-4pm: 10 October 2014 - Talk by Russell Garwood in R89 (S44) Open source software for visualising tomographic datasets: Russell Garwood; University of Manchester. “This talk will provide an overview of free and/or open source software for processing and visualising tomographic datasets. It will be followed by a discussion of other software/tools for performing quantitative analysis of this data. One of the greatest weaknesses of open source packages available - or indeed my knowledge of what's out there - is a lack of free tools for quantifying tomographic data.“ R89/ room S44.

 3pm, 27 August 2014 SCD Seminar hosted by Tom Keal, CCP5/BioSIM: "Avogadro 2: Scaling to Large Systems, Improving Code Integration and Chemical Data Informatics/Analytics" Location: STFC sites: Arkwright A23 (2nd Floor) DL & VC Link to S44/R89 RAL

Abstract: Avogadro 2 is a complete rewrite of the Avogadro project, with a suite of targeted software libraries, and application all permissively licensed under the open source BSD license. Everything from core data structures, file input/output, and rendering have been rewritten with an emphasis on extensibility and scalability while maintaining usability. Avogadro 2 has been demonstrated interactively rendering large systems with in excess of 2.8 million atoms, and small quantum results using volume rendering for electronic structure among other techniques.

Noctylab v1.0 handles processing sequences that can be created, optimized and thus launched on large datasets in order to maximize computing resource usage and minimize user interactions. Specifically, we will show how Noctylab v1.0 implements tubular shape analysis sequence (archeo-bronchial tree or vascularity) based on 3D skeletonization and topology, in order to get caliber measures along branches. Moreover, the software adaptability allows the exploitation of all these tools from new imaging modalities, such as THz scanners. We will also introduce tools dedicated to hyper-spectral analysis and adapted to time-domain spectroscopy or 3D THz imaging. Such tools aim at combining both image and signal processing techniques to obtain 3D visualisation and benefit from image-based measures/analysis tools from hyper-spectral signals. This will be at 2pm at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus: in R89/Room S44 and room Arkwright in DL.

tn_tncFeb-15.jpg The University of Manchester has recently purchased a Rapiscan RTT x-ray CT Machine, located in the School of Materials' Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility (HMXIF). The RTT110 is capable of producing 3D images in real time, making it the fastest imager in the UK. Currently set-up for airport baggage scanning, we aim to adapt the machine to utilise its potential for a wide range of experiments, such as granular and multi-phase flows using dynamic x-ray CT. This will be at 3pm at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus: in R89/Room S44 and room Arkwright in DL.

tn_tncFeb-15b.jpg IMAT is the first neutron imaging instrument at ISIS. It will also be the first of its kind in the world offering unique time-of-flight tomography-driven diffraction techniques. This project aims to enable novel experimental science capabilities for IMAT through developing and deploying HPC based infrastructure needed for in-experiment tomographic image reconstruction, rendering, and interactions. It will also build the foundation needed to enable energy selective image processing, data fitting and 3D tomography driven diffraction data scrutiny capabilities for IMAT. Details at: http://stfc.ac.uk/SCD/research/data/44593.aspx This will be at 3:30pm at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Campus: in R89/Room S44 and room Arkwright in DL.
