.. _rst-intro: About OCTant ============ OCTant (\ **O**\ ptical **C**\ oherence **T**\ omography **an**\ alysis **t**\ ools) is a suite of tools for OCT analysis in Python. Prior to v0.3, OCTant was known as OCT-tools. Documentation available at: `readthedocs `_. .. _sec:aboutthelogo: About the logo -------------- Typeface is Courier New bold common in many programming environments and the bold emphasis is usually kept for reserved words. An octant is one of the 8 regions of a volumetric space partitioned by 3 orthogonal planes. A segmentation (the most relevant operation of OCTant) is also a partition of a space, and OCTant is capable of handle OCT volumes (collection of scans, the are planes usually orthogonal, A-scans, B-scans and C-scans). .. _sec:functionality: Functionality ------------- Currently, the following operations are supported: * **Flattening**: Corrects retinal curvature using a plynomial fit to reflective RPE layer. * **Stitching / Mosaicing**: Permits stitching together several retinal images (usually taken at different angles) to create a larger retinal image * **Profiling**: This is automatically "tracked". The intensity profile of the scan is reproduced "side by side" to the scan * **Segmentation**: A very naive retinal layers segmentation algorithm (with let's be honest, still very disappointing performance). We hope to improve this soon. * **(Manual) Edit segmentation**: Still rudimentary, but some operations to manually edit a segmentation whether by class of interest (COI) or region of interest (ROI).
