CMake, the cross-platform build system generator, is now easily installable in Python distributions! This makes creation of cross-platform C/C++ CPython extension modules accessible to many more developers. To install the CMake Python distribution, run:  python -m pip install --upgrade pip  python -m pip install cmake The official package manager for Python, pip, is available with […]

We recently presented at BSides Austin, which is the largest information security conference in Texas with over 450 attendees this year. As part of our new information security program, we are spinning up several open-source projects. Our presentation at BSides Austin focused on the processing of network security data from Bro IDS. Bro is a […]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce that ITK 4.12 release candidate 1 has been tagged and is available for testing! Please take this opportunity to test the new features in the release candidate. To obtain the source code, use the links: https://github.com/Kitware/ITK/archive/v4.12rc01.zip https://github.com/Kitware/ITK/archive/v4.12rc01.tar.gz   Morphological watershed segmentation of a […]

When a ParaView state file is saved, it saves the absolute paths to the data files that ParaView has loaded. This has made sharing state files annoying since the person loading the state file has to tell ParaView where to look for each data file. Since sharing state files is something many people want to […]

Developed by an international community, ITK collects best-of-breed algorithms for registering, segmenting, analyzing, and quantifying n-dimensional imaging data. The high-quality library facilitates reproducible research, provides a software resource for teaching image analysis, and offers a platform for commercial product development. Following a long history of development, installation of Python bindings is easier than ever. Beta […]

Pseudo-coloring of surfaces and volumes is one of ParaView’s primary methods of displaying data. ParaView’s color legend provides an important link between color and data values, and is a critical component of many visualizations. Over the years, ParaView’s color legend features have expanded to cover numerous usage scenarios, including annotating specific values with text, showing the […]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce that ITK 4.11.1 has been released! Download it now! This is a patch release that fixes critical issues, regressions, documentation, and compiler support. Of the numerous issues addressed in this release, most notable build support additions include Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7, […]

When we added Axes Grid to ParaView, it was intended to replace a previous implementation of axes annotation called Cube Axes. While the Axes Grid is much superior to the Cube Axes in appearance and functionality, due to a implementation nuance, the Axes Grid only supported showing the grid around all datasets visible in the view. Unlike Cube […]

Kitware and Collaborators Make 1.0 Release of Materials Tomography Platform Kitware worked with researchers to make the first major release of Tomviz, an open-source platform that processes data for materials tomography. Tomviz aligns, reconstructs, segments, visualizes, and analyzes three-dimensional tomographic data through a reproducible pipeline. The release followed the conclusion of Phase II of a […]

Tomviz is an open source, cross platform software application developed to run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It makes use of Qt 5 for much of its desktop integration, and inherits many of its icons from ParaView which is one of its major dependencies. Over the last few months we have been focusing on a […]

Team offers software through open-source download. Kitware worked with researchers to make the first major release of Tomviz, an open-source platform that processes data for materials tomography. Tomviz aligns, reconstructs, segments, visualizes and analyzes three-dimensional tomographic data through a reproducible pipeline. The release followed the conclusion of Phase II of a Department of Energy Small […]

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 […]
