Mercator deformation maps

This is a rust conversion of the deformation maps support, as a library, for integration within Mercator.

The reference implementation is available on GitHub as part of AIMS.

Mercator: Spatial Index

Mercator is a spatial volumetric index for the Human Brain Project. It is a component of the Knowledge Graph service, which provides the spatial anchoring for the metadata registered as well as processes the volumetric queries.

It is build on top of the Iron Sea database toolkit.

Requirements

Software

• Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org

Run the tests

You can run the tests using:

cargo test

Note

• These tests compare this implementation with the reference implementation.
• They assume the reference implementation provides correct results for its intended uses.
• A test is passing if the two implementations generate the same outputs.
• The reference deformation map & test data is NOT included, but assumed to be available under /data.

Documentation

For more information, please refer to the documentation.

If you want to build the documentation and access it locally, you can use:

cargo doc --open
