Abstract:

MDPP is a fully-featured general purpose image processing package originally written to support research in structural biology requiring electron microscopy and image processing. It has focused on the analysis of images using fourier techniques, particularly periodic images, but has extensive tools for other processing options (e.g. DNA sequencing, point-counting, image quantitation and display). Three-dimensional reconstruction methods are supported, including iteractive deconvolution schemes for light micrographs. Color images are supported with both color pallet and RGB options.

The package is easy to install and use, even by the novice user. Extensive documentation is included and is accessible from within the program as on-line HELP and also as BOOKREADER documentation. Care has been taken to support interfaces to other image processing packages, e.g. Macintosh applications via the TIFF image format, and other EM-targeted image processing packages such as Spider, Semper, PIC and the MRC package. The basic package is command-line driven, but the user can choose to write sophisticated command scripts and use a menu-driven full-screen or MOTIF interface to call them. Foreground and background operation is supported.
