Search for Python

Update: Viridis and three other color maps with similar design parameters are now included in ParaView 5.0! This week at SciPy2015 I attended the talk by Stéfan van der Walt and Nathaniel Smith on designing a better default color map for Python (you can view a recording of the talk here). matplotlib’s current default color map, shown […]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce that ITK 4.8.0 has been released! Get it Now!   The 4.8 release offers substantial benefits to the medical and scientific imaging community by making the toolkit more accessible to non-C++ programmers and by providing greater availability on mobile, high-performance computing (HPC), and […]

Please take this opportunity to test the new features in the release candidate.     To obtain the source code,    git clone http://itk.org/ITK.git  cd ITK  git checkout -q […]

With simple zero-dimensional data, basic statistics of a population can be displayed with a boxplot. A boxplot shows the median, interquartile range, and outliers in a population described using single scalar values. For example, you can plot the distribution of ages for a random sampling of 40 individuals. The boxplot shown below enables you to identify the median age, […]

Visit Kitware’s CVPR booth to learn more about our work with Project Tango and learn about our other CVPR activities here Project Tango is an effort by Google to create a mobile device capable of perceiving and understanding 3D space.  As part of this effort, the Project Tango team has led the development of an augmented […]

This post describes how to cross-compile the Insight Toolkit (ITK)'s Python wrapping for the Raspberry Pi 2. The default operating system on the Raspberry Pi 2 is Raspbian, a Debian-based Linux distribution. While Debian provides packages for ITK., these packages are not currently available on Raspbian. We will create a Debian package optimized for the Raspberry […]

Team looks to extend Apache Nutch to improve capabilities of search engines. Kitware is developing software extensions that aim to address complex search problems common in fields such as security and defense as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Memex program. A key use case of the technology is the ability of […]

SimpleITK 0.9.0 has been released! Get it now! Here is a quick overview of the ITKv4's registration in SimpleITK via IPython/Jupiter notebook. l This release features the ImageRegistrationMethod which brings a SimpleITK style interface to the modular ITKv4 registration framework. This adds support for a variety of transforms including rigid, affine, b-spline, and deformation fields. […]

Kitware is pleased to announce the release of Girder 1.3.0, a data science tool that supports scalable data management solutions. With this release, Girder can run on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. Also new with this release is the ability for clients to upload to an S3 assetstore, as they would any other assetstore […]

ITK Git master has reached a major milestone — Python wrapping now builds and cleanly passes tests on the default compilers for MacOSX, Linux, and Windows! Python bindings make the extensive library of scientific image analysis algorithms embodied in the Insight Toolkit available to the rich scientific Python ecosystem. The ITK bindings complement excellent Python wrappings already available for SimpleITK, the simplified API […]

This post is geared towards VTK, ParaView, and CMB developers who are using Gitlab to contribute changes to these open source projects. The automated testing infrastructure used by these projects has several parts: Buildbot  is used to monitor the git repositories and schedule builds and tests when merge requests are created or the integration branches (master/release) are changed. […]

One of the concerns I hear often about in situ analysis and visualization is that there’s the possibility that a full simulation run can be wasted if the proper in situ pipeline isn’t set up properly a priori. One of the key capabilities of ParaView Catalyst is being able to use a Python script to […]

  Introduction An open source development environment is preferred by many developers because of its powerful and effective tools. Additionally, it is desireable to avoid the expense of compiler licenses, proprietary operating systems, and hardware when possible. In the age of cloud-based testing and deployment, the ability to work from an open source, Linux stack […]

From March 23 to March 27, 2015, I attended the VizBi conference at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, MA. The conference featured the latest in visualizations in the life sciences community, including some impressive molecular animations. At the conference, I presented a poster (along with Curtis Lisle, Anthony Wehrer, Luke Harmon, Robert […]

SIAM’s Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) conference was held this year in Salt Lake City. Over one thousand people attended the conference, which featured minisymposia, minitutorials, and keynote addresses. The conference had a lot to offer, and Kitware participated in several activities. On the first day of the conference, Bill Hoffman and Andy Bauer attended […]

VTK 6.2.0 Released The VTK development team is pleased to announce that VTK 6.2.0 is ready for download. In this release, VTK’s use of parallelism in modern architectures continues to mature. In terms of managing pieces and extents in the pipeline, for example, VTK’s readers are now responsible for implementing translation, and its parallel filters […]
