fast::UFFStreamer class
#include <FAST/Streamers/UFFStreamer.hpp>

Stream ultrasound file format (UFF) data.

Contents

A streamer for reading data stored in the ultrasound file format (UFF) which is essentially and HDF5 file with ultrasound image/beam data.

There is GUI tool called the 'UFFviewer' which uses the UFF streamer, enabling you to load and play with UFF data without programming. Type UFFviewer in your terminal to access it.

Output ports

Examples using the UFF streamer:

Base classes

class RandomAccessStreamer
Abstract class of streamer in which any frame can be accessed at any time through an integer index and playbacked can be paused.
