We previously announced that the ITK Python wrapping is now available in the Python Package Index (PyPI) [1]. Starting to develop Python scripts using ITK filters is one command line away: python -m pip install itk Python is a scripting language that allows fast development and is widely used in the scientific community. You can […]

This blog article presents an overview of the work being done in collaboration with Emory University on an ongoing NIH grant funded project for the development of informatics tools for the web-based management, visualization, and analytics of digital histopathology data. This project is being executed by a tight collaboration between the members of the Medical […]

Introduction The post presents texture quantification algorithms that provide a statistical description of the local texture of a 2D, 3D or N-D image.  The N-Dimensional texture maps are generated with a high performance algorithm and multi-threaded implementation in the Insight Toolkit (ITK). The software is packaged for Python and in a 3D Slicer extension. We […]

scikit-build is an improved build system generator for CPython C extensions. It provides better support for additional compilers, build systems, cross compilation, and locating dependencies and their associated build requirements. The project started during the 2014 SciPy Conference Sprints by Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin, Michael Sarahan, Matthew McCormick, and Anthony Scopatz out of frustration with how difficult […]

Thanks to EDF funding, new capabilities for data analysis is making its debut in ParaView and VTK based on OpenTURNS.
