Used by thousands of researchers at hundreds of top research institutions and museums around the globe, Checkpoint is an integrated software package for geometric morphometrics that enables you to easily collect, manipulate and analyze thousands of landmark and semi-landmark points in 3D.
Nothing else offers as many capabilities, is as easy to use, works as fast, saves you as much time and works seamlessly with laser-scanned surfaces, micro-CT, CBCT, CT and MRI scans.
Place landmark points, curves, and patches, with automatic generation of semi-landmark points along curves and patches. Export landmarks to common file formats.
Load DICOM scans (DCM files), PLY, STL, OBJ, and WRL surfaces. Extract multiple isosurfaces from volume (DICOM) scans (and export them).
Interact with your scans through 3D multi-planar reconstruction and axial, coronal, and sagittal slicing. View through 3D volume rendering and slice-surface intersections.
Convert volume data (DICOM .DCM, NifTI .NII, Analyze .HDR, .VTK) to NII format. Convert surfaces from one format (STL, PLY, OBJ) to another, and so much more...
How to apply templates you have created to the rest of your sample.
How to create templates using Checkpoint so they can be applied to subsequent scans.
This video describes the process of collecting semi-landmark curve on 3-dimensional molars.
