Description of the Data


The aim of this exercise is to import and process the following three datasets:

mri.dat
: This data file represents a MRI scan of the brain. The dataset is 2D and contains 512 X 512 single scalar bytes for each data value. The data file is binary and the data is arranged contiguously with no header information.
hslice.dat
: This data file represents a single slice through a hydrogen molecule where the data values represent the electron density. The dataset is 2D and contains 64 X 64 single scalar bytes for each data value. The data file is binary and the data is arranged contiguously with no header information.
temps.dat
: This data file represents temperatures taken from a cross section of an injection moulding system. The ASCII data file contains data on a regular, 31 X 31 grid. The data component at each element is a single floating point value and the first two numbers in the file indicate the X and Y dimensions of the grid respectively.
