ND-SAFIR software
Overview
ND-SAFIR is a software for denoising n-dimentionnal images especially dedicated to microscopy image sequence analysis. It is able to deal with 2D, 3D, 2D+time, 3D+time images have one or more color channel. It is adapted to Gaussian and Poisson-Gaussian noise which are usually encountered in photonic imaging. Several papers describe the detail of the method used in ndsafir to recover noise free images (see references).
Fast 2D-SAFIR
A fast version of ND-SAFIR in 2 dimensions was also developed in 2008 and 2009 in C++.
Involved people and institutions
ND-SAFIR is the result of a collaboration between Inria,
Rennes, INRA, Jouy-en-Josas and Institut Curie, Paris. It has been mostly developped during the PhD thesis of J. Boulanger with INRA, MIA 78352 Jouy-and-Josas, France and Inria Rennes Bretagne Atlantique, VISTA 35042 Rennes, France under the supervision of P. Bouthemy and C. Kervrann. It has been rewriten during his stay as a post-doctoral fellow with J. Salamero and J.-B. Sibarita at the UMR-144 Institut Curie/CNRS, Cell and Tissue Image Facility PICT-IBISA 75000 Paris. Finally, several contributions have been added by the team of J. Sedat at UCSF.
Commercial software distribution
Roper Scientific France (now Gataca systems) has integrated ND-Safir (within Meatamorph interface) into a easy to use GUI named Safir

Free download binaries
Binaries of the software ndsafir is freely and electronically ditributed. Developped in standard C/C++ under Linux using
the CImg library, it has been tested over several plateform such as Linux/Unix, Windows XP and Mac OS.
