Viking Documentation master file. .. image:: Banner.jpg :width: 768 :align: center ################################# Welcome to Viking's Documentation ################################# Viking is a multi-user web-based collaborative management system for images and volumes which allows users to view multi-terabyte datasets, annotate images with their own annotation schema, and summarize the results. Viking was developed by James Anderson at the `Marc Lab`_ for use with the first retinal connectome which was assembled using `SSTEM and Computation Molecular Phenotyping`_ Viking's role begins after images are collected and registered into a volume. The Marc Lab uses `Nornir`_ to build our volumes.
