Hi folks, We are pleased to announce the release of ITK 3.16.
ITK is an open-source, cross-platform system that provides developers with an extensive suite of software tools for image analysis. ITK has the same BSD-style licensing terms as ParaView and has been developed using the same software engineering tools as ParaView (e.g., cmake, dashboards, doxygen), ITK provides leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional data. Methods exist in the InsightApplications repository for connecting ITK and VTK pipelines together, so ITK methods can be easily integrated into ParaView modules. * Download instructions are available at: http://www.itk.org/ITK/resources/software.html * Summary of new classes is available at: http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_3.16 * Summary of changes is available at: http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_3.16_Changed_From_Previous * Release official announcement http://www.kitware.com/news/home/browse/ITK?2009_09_16&ITK+3.16+Released Summary: The main changes in this release include the continued addition of classes for managing labeled images contributed on an Insight Journal article by G. Lehmann. These added classes were the remaining components of a 70+ class label map morphology module. These classes provide for the efficient representation of label maps and for conversion between current ITK label images and the efficient storage format. Details are available from "Label Object Representation and Manipulation with ITK", which can be read in the January Source or on the Insight Journal (http://hdl.handle.net/1926/584). These new classes can be found in the Code/Review Directory and can be enabled by setting the CMake variable ITK_USE_REVIEW to ON during the configuration process. Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann and Sophie Chen for their dedication on bringing these valuable new functionalities into ITK. This release offers a fix to a long standing issue in ITK regarding the computation of physical coordinates associated with pixels. Thanks to Tom Vercauteren and Michel Audette for their hard work on getting this difficult issue fixed. Many improvements and fixes in the I/O infrastructure were contributed by Brad Lowekamp, making it now possible to manage large image files through the streaming infrastructure of the data pipeline. In particular Brad contributed examples illustrating how to process the entire Visible Human dataset via an ITK pipeline. _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
