Research in artificial intelligence has seen significant progress over the past few years, spurring the increasing adoption of AI models in many real-world applications. Despite the success of these AI models, their “black box” nature and lack of interpretability present a serious barrier to users, especially in domains with critical, high-stakes decisions such as healthcare, […]

Some of the most powerful computing tools are based on the concept of visual analytics “the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces”.[1] Typically such software tools combine advanced visualization, charting, and interactive interfaces to provide an environment that facilitates exploration, analysis, and understanding of complex data and systems. However, creating effective visual […]

Popular open source medical imaging software gets major improvements, including AI-powered medical image analysis Clifton Park, N.Y. (July 28, 2022) – Kitware, a leader in developing innovative medical visualization tools, is pleased to announce the release of 3D Slicer 5.0. 3D Slicer is an open source software package used for medical, biomedical, and related imaging […]

Motivation HDF is a widely used data format which consists of n-dimensional named arrays (datasets) organized in a directory structure (groups). Storing VTK data in HDF is complicated because HDF does not have a standard way to attach meaning to its arrays – so a reader does not know which array represents points, cells, and other attributes. Traditionally, […]

The third CMake 3.24 release candidate!

Chances are that you already followed one of our many courses at Kitware’s facilities in France. VTK and ParaView User courses, very popular ones, occur every 6 months and are also available on demand. See our catalog on https://www.kitware.eu/training/ for future sessions. During covid, we had to transition to online courses and to reduce the […]

CI: Continuous IntegrationMR: Merge RequestPR: Pull Request In the VTK/ParaView ecosystem, there are a number of projects that rely on VTK and ParaView as dependency and are not part of VTK/ParaView per se, eg Flow3D, Salome, Themys, F3D, PVGeo, vtk-dicom, pyvista, vedo, meshio, slicer, CTK, cmb, ttk. It has always been complex for these kind […]

Kitware is excited to announce major updates to the SlicerSkeletalRepresentation extension, which revamps using, displaying, and storing skeletal representations (s-reps). These updates were developed as part of SlicerSALT for easier use and reuse of skeletal representations. What is an s-rep? S-reps are skeletal models that have been used for representing the shape of a wide […]
