A cubic spline is a spline where each curve is defined by a third-order polynomial, while a Hermite spline has each polynomial specified in Hermite form, being computed using tangent information as well as the position of the points. We propose two new [...]
This paper describes a new tutorial book titled "An Introduction to Programming for Medical Image Analysis with the Visualization Toolkit." This book derived from a set of class handouts used in a biomedical engineering graduate seminar at Yale University. [...]
Often times developers face the need to connect ITK and VTK pipelines to handle
image data. For this purpose, image data importer and exporter classes
have been implemented both in ITK and VTK. However, as evident from frequent questions in
the ITK and [...]
VTK Remote Rendering of 3D Laser Scanner Ply files for Android Mobile Devices
Published in The VTK Journal
Published in The VTK Journal
Three-dimensional laser scanner is a modern technology used to detect and capture the shape of complex objects. There are a lot of possible application fields for this technology: applications in the industrial sector (reverse engineering), in the medical [...]

This paper presents an extension of the Visualization ToolKit dedicated to spatiotemporal data synchronization, visualization and management. It basically consists in a versatile library providing functionalities to help developers setting up sophisticated [...]
A Streaming IO Base Class and Support for Streaming the MRC and VTK File Format
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
This paper describes our contribution of three new classes to the Insight Toolkit community. We present a new ImageIO base class for streaming image file, along with two derived ImageIO classes for the VTK and the MRC file formats.
The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) is an opensource toolkit for the development of interactive medical image analysis software. MITK is based on the open-source Insight Toolkit (ITK) and Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and extends them with features [...]
This document describes a project that can compare many images simultaneously in a synchronized manner. Such an application can be used in any ITK/VTK image processing pipelines; the programmer can use it to quickly visualize and compare intermediate results [...]
Facet Analyser: ParaView plugin for automated facet detection and measurement of interplanar angles of tomographic objects
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
The presented ParaView plugin allows easy access to the algorithm described in Ref 1. It enables analysis of faceted objects that exhibit distortions in their digital representation, e.g. due to tomographic reconstruction artifacts.
The contributed [...]
This paper describes the Insight Toolkit (ITK) Conformal Flattening filter: itkConformalFlatteningFilter.
This ITK filter is an implementation of a paper by Sigurd Angenent, et al., “On the Laplace-Beltrami
Operator and Brain Surface Flattening”. This [...]
MIPP: A Medical Image Processing Platform based on ITK, VTK and Eclipse RCP
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
A novel platform for realizing software prototypes in the area of medical image processing, analysis and visualization is introduced: The "Medical Image Processing Platform" (MIPP). A novel feature is the combination of ITK/VTK with Java/Eclipse RCP, four [...]
Extending MITK by a real-time online video overlay navigation system for minimally invasive surgery
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
The purpose of this paper is to present our extension of the MITK toolkit by a real-time navigation system for computer assisted surgery. The system was developed with laparoscopic partial nephrectomies as a first application scenario. The main goal of the [...]
The rapid and flexible visualization of large amounts of com-
plex data has become a crucial part in medical image analysis. In re-
cent years the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) has evolved as the de-facto
standard for open-source medical data visualization. [...]
We have created a wrapper package named SimVTK that allows VTK, and third-party classes derived from VTK classes, to be seamlessly integrated with MATLAB's Simulink interface. Our package generates a loadable Simulink module for each VTK class, which is then [...]
We have created open-source Simulink block libraries for ITK and VTK that allow pipelines for these toolkits to be built in a visual, drag-and-drop style within MATLAB. Each block contains an instance of an ITK or VTK class. Any block connections and [...]
