vtkINRIA3D Description

vtkINRIA3D is a C++ library extending the Visualization ToolKit, and dedicated to spatiotemporal data synchronization, visualization and management. It provides functionalities to help developers setting up sophisticated applications with minimal development effort.

In the medical imaging context, various types of data are often encountered, which raises the need for adapted visualization and synchronization techniques. Moreover, the management of these data (organization, creation, deletion, access) can become a burden. We propose in vtkINRIA3D a strategy to synchronize interactions between datasets representations, to manipulate complex objects (e.g., neural fibers as obtained in DT-MRI), as well as a managing framework for organizing data (including temporal sequences).

If you use vtkINRIA3D, please reference the following article:

vtkINRIA3D: A VTK Extension for Spatiotemporal Data Synchronization, Visualization and Management. N. Toussaint, M. Sermesant and P. Fillard. In Proc. of Workshop on Open Source and Open Data for MICCAI, Brisbane, Australia, October 2007.

There are already two applications built upon vtkINRIA3D:
  • MedINRIA (general medical image processing software)
  • CardioViz3D (cardiac imaging and simulation)

vtkINRIA3D is open-source, and comes with a set of examples, test data and softwares built upon it.

IMPORTANT NOTE :

Some work is currently being done to enhance the vtkRenderingAddOn library. For the time being, this work can be found in a separate folder - vtkRenderingAddOn2 - and is to be used with care. However, you can find its 'work in progress' documentation at RenderingAddOn-2. Some more information will follow shortly.

Access to the source code through gforge project web site: gforge.inria.fr/projects/vtkinria3d
