Kitware has a track record for applying agile software development processes to our projects. Since each project is unique in its needs and workflow, the same processes are not used for every project. We use mainstream development models like SCRUM [1] , Kanban [2] , and even waterfall [3], but we typically adapt the process […]

Nuclear nonproliferation is in opposition to the spread of nuclear weapons and technology. For the Phase I of the DOE SBIR “Scalable Visual System for Nonproliferation Analysis,” we developed a prototype of a system for analysts interested in retrieving, classifying, and visualizing large quantities of documents related to nonproliferation activities.  Our first step was to […]

In cmake-gui, a list of CMake “options” and “cache entries” are presented to the developer building your project so they can make adjustments to various aspects of your project’s build. For example, a common option is BUILD_SHARED_LIBS . If set to ON , then add_library  calls default to producing shared libraries. Otherwise, add_library  calls default to producing […]

I’ve been in the business of creating and deploying scientific software for more years than I’ll admit to. Over these many years, there have been several constants: the work is challenging, fun, and makes a positive impact on our society. Another constant is the way work like this is funded, typically by large research organizations […]

3D Slicer is an open-source (BSD-style license) platform for medical image segmentation, registration, visualization and analysis. It represents a practical integration of innovations from a multitude of fields including medical image analysis, cross-platform software development, collaborative software development and extensible platform design. Kitware has been closely involved in many of these innovations. In particular, 3D […]

Ten years ago, the National Library of Medicine initiated a software development program to produce an open-source toolkit for the segmentation and registration of medical images, in particular the Visible Man and Visible Woman data. The outcome of that program was the Insight Toolkit (ITK). From those humble beginnings, ITK is now used in basic […]

The VTK wrappers received their last major overhaul in 1998 and have done well to serve the VTK community. In recent years, however, the wrappers have started to show some cracks, particularly as new types such as vtkVariant and vtkUnicodeString have been introduced to VTK but have not been made available in the wrappers. One […]
