Surface generation of the NRO structure. Filtered versions of the above images going from left to right (A: 0%, B: 15%, C: 25%, and D 50% of the original voxel resolution) require (1.26, 1.21, 1.07, and 0.89 GB) of memory with an initial memory footprint of 0.49 GB, which amounts to around 50 MB per 1 million voxels. This reflects a linear memory usage with predictable performance requirements as the number of input voxels grow. Depending on the number of control points and coarse graining of the data points the surface becomes smoother, thus improving the perception of the overall 3D structure. The excluded volume grows slightly with the coarse graining and at the high value of D too many details of the structure are lost. (E) different slices of the reaction volume. The complete volume is also shown in the SI video (Additional file 1).
