Hi Huiya,

  There is a list of Chimera Python scripts, many that read volume data here

	http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts>

and this readvol.py one shows how to get the 3d matrix as a numpy array, basic m = v.matrix() or m = v.full_matrix(), full_matrix() gives the full 3d data even if it is being shown subsampled, e.g. at step 2,
