[OpenSPIM] Multiview registration - no inliers

Wed Aug 24 12:49:15 CDT 2016

Hi Neil

Thanks for your email! The stacks should have the voxel size correctly set
to 0.235 x 0.235 x 0.750. I'm assuming you've looked at the data on
µManager as I'm unfamiliar with the ViewSetup tag that you mention. My
system is not quite an OpenSPIM - I use LabView to control and don't have
the Picard 4D stage (I use a Piezo for scanning instead).

Your manual transform looks about right, the stacks are about 120º apart
with the big bead somewhere near the middle. I have tried a few different
µbeads and the ones in these stacks are 1µm green beads but as you say they
are nowhere near as bright as the big beads. Perhaps I do need to dump the
large beads and find something else to try and reconstruct. I've been
finding about 400-ish interest points in my stacks- is there a magic number
that works for you? I've been imaging to about 100µm depth, how much would
you recommend? Don't the stacks start getting too large to handle?

Thanks for the tip on the camera noise! I think I'll try again tomorrow
with brighter beads, no big beads and larger volumes - I'll let you know
how it goes!

Best wishes
Tania
