Cloud computing services offer highly reliable, scalable and efficient solutions with a large pool of easily accessible, virtualized resources. They are becoming an increasingly prevalent delivery model. We have developed a cloud-based image analysis toolbox to provide a wide user base with easy access to the software tools we have developed over the last decade. The toolbox is provided as a service on an Australian national cloud infrastructure. The design and implementation of the cloud-based service are presented, including its architecture, key components and some image analysis and visualization examples showing the capabilities of the service for biomedical image analysis. |
