Media Types and Modalities
195644 Media

Media are 3D and 2D representations of physical objects. In MorphoSource, media are principally sorted by two factors: media type and modality, as described below.

Media Types

This is the broad type category that describes the media file or files.

Image
20101 Media

A single 2D image file. File types include DCM, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, DNG, NEF, CRW, CR2, CR3, IIQ, ARW, RAW, and RW2.

Video
800 Media

A single 2D video file. File types include WMV, MOV, AVI, MPEG, and M4V.

Volumetric Image Series
64678 Media

A collection of 2D image files that together comprise a CT/micro-CT volumetric stack. Files are ZIP archives with collections of images of file types DCM, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, or BMP.

Photogrammetry Image Series
1287 Media

A collection of 2D image files that together comprise a photogrammetry image set. Files are ZIP archives with collections of images of file types TIFF, PNG, JPEG, or BMP.

Mesh or Point Cloud
108464 Media

A 3D model or collection of 3D XYZ coordinate points. File types include PLY, STL, OBJ, X3D, GLB, GLTF, BIN, and WRL. This also includes ZIP files for mesh files with associated material and texture files, such as a combination of OBJ, MTL, and PNG files.
