If you have been using ParaView for a while, you have no doubt encountered at least one of these dialogs: While both configure how images were saved out from ParaView, they unfortunately offer different set of options. Notably, when saving animation dialog doesn’t have options to save a single view (it always saves all views in the […]

Tomviz is an application for visualizing, processing, and analyzing large datasets from transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopes. It is based on the ParaView platform and includes the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK). ParaView provides advanced visualization while ITK provides a wealth of image processing and analysis algorithms. Together they provide powerful capabilities for […]

Chris Kotfila, Aashish Chaudhary, Petr Votava, Doruk Ozturk, Andrew Michaelis Far from the days of radio-based deep space communication and telemetry, satellites used to gather GIS data today, are pouring terabytes of data back into science data systems (SDS) here on Earth. The data is cleaned and processed into terabytes of science products to be […]

ParaView 5.3.0 is now available for download. The full list of issues addressed by and features added to this release is available here. Major highlights in this release include: VTK-m Plugin This release introduces the VTKmFilters plugin that includes an initial collection of VTK-m filters that fully utilize many-core architectures. This new plug-in comes with support […]

Pearl Hacks is a 24 hour all-female hackathon conducted to inspire and encourage girls to continue their quest in computing and technologies. This year, the hackathon was organized at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) on February 11th and 12th. We conducted a workshop on medical image computing during the Pearl Hacks […]

A core feature of Tomviz is the ability to modify 3D image data by one or more of the data operators available in the program. These operators can be used to perform 3D reconstruction of raw electron tomography data, to imbue images with metadata, or to perform general 3D image processing and analysis on reconstructed […]

We are very pleased to announce the release of Tomviz 0.9.3 (article on Opensource.com with some background). This release features improved 3D rendering, with a number of updates to support modern operating systems. The use of full retinal resolution on macOS has been enabled for the first time in this release, and a number of […]

Kitware released version 4.11 of the National Library of Medicine Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) to support scientific discovery through medical image analysis. Version 4.11 added remote modules to increase support for the capabilities of the toolkit. This release also bolsters code coverage, and provides members of the medical community with an open-source, cross-platform solution […]

Earlier this month, we attended the 3D Slicer 2017 Winter Project Week at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in Cambridge, MA. The project week is a semi-annual event, where 3D Slicer users and developers gather to discuss and work collaboratively on open-science solutions for problems that occur […]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce that ITK 4.11 release candidate 1 has been tagged and is available for testing! Please take this opportunity to test the new features in the release candidate. Insight Journal article included as a Remote Module, DVMeshNoise: Perturbing Mesh Vertices with Additive Gaussian Noise. […]

The VTK development team is pleased to introduce VTK 7.1.0. You might be tempted to think that 7.1 is just a minor release that tweaks the rendering after the big update that took effect last year in 7.0, but you would be wrong. Besides rendering, there are substantial changes to web (supporting javascript has been […]

Good software relies on software quality practices such as Continuous Integration (CI) to maintain high standards of reliability, efficiency, security, maintainability, and size. These practices lower costs and reduce risk by identifying problems earlier, giving organizations the agility and confidence to try out new architectural directions, features, and dependency changes.  At Kitware, we have a long history of […]

We are very pleased to announce the release of Tomviz 0.9.2 (article on Opensource.com with some background). This release adds several new features, with significant user interface updates, running CPU-intensive operations in a background thread, volume rendering improvements, and augmented segmentation capabilities. We are at Supercomputing 2016 this week if you would like to talk […]

In 2007 I took part in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) developing the Avogadro application. As we were developing Avogadro, we saw the need to develop other related applications, and later founded the The Open Chemistry project as an umbrella project to develop related tools for chemistry and materials science. Our goal is to bring […]

This marks the beginning of series of blog posts that I intend to write (and can hopefully rope in others to write too) to give a new developer for ParaView, ParaView plugin, or a ParaView-based application  some overview on how things come together. To keep things manageable both for the reader and the writer, I intend […]
