# Ellipsoid Surface Projection #

This is a [Fiji](http://www.fiji.sc/Downloads) plugin for fitting an ellipsoid surface to bright spots in a 3D image.
A stack of ellipsoid slices can then be extracted by projection to a sphere or cylinder.
If the 3D image is part of a time series, the projection can be repeated for each timepoint, yielding a 4D stack.
This plugin is based on [BigDataViewer](http://imagej.net/BigDataViewer).
