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 […]

This is a continuation of our series of posts about Resonant, a data analytics and visualization platform for the web. Posts in this series: Understanding the Resonant Platform Girder Applications: An Inside Look Girder Worker and the COVALIC Grand Challenge Geospatial Visualization with GeoJS Resonant Visualization with Candela Recapping Resonant Visualization is an integral part […]

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 is the first in a series of blog posts about Resonant, a data analytics and visualization platform for the web.  Posts in this series: Understanding the Resonant Platform Girder Applications: An Inside Look Girder Worker and the COVALIC Grand Challenge Geospatial Visualization with GeoJS Resonant Visualization with Candela Recapping Resonant Resonant is a general platform […]

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 […]

Kitware worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Automated Image Analysis Strategic Initiative (AIASI) to host a software integration and training workshop for Video and Image Analytics for the Marine Environment (VIAME). The workshop took place at Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, Washington, from September 20 to 23, 2016. More than 10 […]

First Hackfest Upgrades Girder In August, Kitware held the first Girder hackfest to enhance the open-source, web-based platform for data management. Over 20 participants attended the all-day hackfest, during which they made a variety of improvements to Girder. For starters, participants continued to work on a major overhaul of the front-end build infrastructure. Sébastien Barré […]

The importance of coding style should not be underestimated, and we have seen a number of changes in our projects over the last few months. Until recently VTK and ParaView used a style for braces that I have only ever encountered in projects coming from our company, with minimal to no support in most editors. […]

The VTK development team is happy to announce that VTK 7.1 has entered release candidacy!You can find the source, data, and (soon) vtkpython binary packages here:http://www.vtk.org/download/#candidatePlease try this version of VTK and report any issues to the new gitlab bug tracker so that we can try to address them before VTK 7.1.0 final. When you do, be sure to mark your bug reports and merge requests with the […]

The first PyData Carolinas Conference was held from September 14-16, 2016 at IBM in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The event was very successful with over 350 attendees and every room packed in three parallel tracks, which reflects the technological energy for Python in data science in the Carolinas. Kitware participated with a number of […]
