Testing Drake Since 2014 Kitware has been working since 2014 to develop and maintain a cloud-based continuous integration (CI) system for Drake, an open-source robotics toolbox started by the Robot Locomotion Group at MIT CSAIL with core development now led by  Toyota Research Institute. Modern software development involves teams of developers working together on large […]

Overview Data scientists frequently deal with extensive data structures that span multiple dimensions. These structures, termed n-dimensional (N-D) arrays, emerge from sophisticated, domain-specific algorithms. Kitware is working on a new framework, Pan3D, that leverages open source tools Trame and PyVista, aimed at simplifying a data scientist’s workflow when analyzing such data. This article delves into […]

We are happy to announce the Insight Toolkit (ITK) 5.4 Release Candidate 2 is available for testing! ITK is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration. Highlights ITK 5.4 marks a significant feature update aimed at bolstering the project’s long-term sustainability. Specifically, this release harnesses the power of Web3 technology […]

According to git history, January marks the 30th anniversary of the first commit into the VTK’s source code repository. For those of us who have been involved from the early days this is truly mind boggling. We often thought that VTK might last a few years; and in our wildest dreams, maybe ten years. But […]

Kitware, a trusted leader in software R&D and advanced AI, is pleased to announce its 2024 promotions. Kitware continues to deliver innovative software that advances science and helps solve the world’s challenges through important projects and collaborations.

On behalf of the Pulse Physiology Community, we are pleased to announce that version 4.2 is now available from our repository.  You can also get the latest version of Pulse for Unity from our asset on the Unity Store. We also provide an Unreal engine plugin with this latest version. The Pulse Explorer has also […]

The widespread adoption of 3D Tiles as an open data format for streaming geospatial data, including buildings, point clouds, and meshes, to web browsers signifies a notable trend in the GIS domain. In our previous work, we demonstrated the application of VTK and Python to address the intricate task of converting polygonal data sourced from […]

Introduction Semantic image segmentation involves identification and labeling of distinct anatomical regions of interest in an image, and is a critical step in many medical image analysis applications. Current approaches for image segmentation largely rely on rapidly evolving methods and algorithms based on deep convolutional networks. Typically, given a medical imaging dataset and segmentation task, […]

We have made it! After 6 years of hard work, the DOE data and visualization community has successfully developed and deployed a high-quality ecosystem to support DOE’s data analysis and visualization needs on exascale supercomputers. In this series of blogs, I am going to present several projects that Kitware has been involved in on the […]

Are you looking to develop visualization applications with cutting-edge medical imaging technology? Kitware can help you realize your product. We have an extensive track record of developing medical visualization applications and scientific software development platforms using web technologies (VTK-js, Trame, VolView, Glance, ITK-Jupyter-widgets, ITK-wasm) as well as native desktop toolkits (VTK, ITK, 3D Slicer, Paraview […]

This is a guest blog from Matthieu Morel from NEMOSFLOW, specialized in Computational Fluid Dynamics for industry and R&D. Introduction to post-processing CFD results: a crucial step Usually, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workflow is composed of three main steps : ParaView is a powerful open source software fulfilling all post-processing step requirements. It proposes many […]

In today’s dynamic healthcare landscape, ever-evolving clinical demands call for advanced medical technologies. Medical imaging and health records increasingly rely on data transmission and interoperability. A single CT scan must be readily available for on-site feedback, remote review, cloud-based automated segmentation, and more. The DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) imaging standard provides a […]

Simulations written in Python or Fortran can now utilize Catalyst 2.0 ! Catalyst 2.0 offers significant advantages over the original implementation including simpler integration to simulations thanks to a small yet powerful API as well as easier deployment due to its ABI-stable design which allows dynamically swapping backends at load-time when launching the simulation. All […]

Thanks to recent developments, the VTKHDF format now supports storing time dependent data in a single HDF5 file. The details of the specification can be found here: https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/design_documents/VTKFileFormats.html#transient-data, but for convenience, the synthetic diagram is reproduced below in Figure 1. Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the time dependent meta-data in the VTKHDF format The idea […]

3D scene understanding is challenging because of the inherent sparsity property of point-cloud data. In the meantime, 2D image understanding algorithms have already achieved near human-level perception, with a growing research community trying to improve the state of the art. One idea to process 3D data is to actually project it into a 2D view […]
