YAV++ : General-purpose C++ Medical Image Library

This C++ library offers a suite of functionnalities for the processing and visualization of medicales images and geometric meshes. On top of the library, a Graphical User Interface based on OpenGL and Tcl/TK, allows to apply most available algorithms interactively but also to build dedicated applications through the use of Tcl scripting language. In order to ease its development, the library has been designed in a hierarchical and modular fashion. The main modules include :

• Volumetric images : implements low-level processing algorithms and the 3D visualization (surface and volume rendering) of volumetric images.
• 4D (3D+T) images : implements visualization and processing of time series of volumetric images
• Contour : implements 2D and 3D active contours
• Simplex Mesh : implements 3D deformable simplex meshes
• Triangulation : implements 3D deformable triangulations surfaces with visualization functionnalities
• Tetrahedrisation : implements 3D volume composed of tetrahedra with visualization functionnalities
• Force-Feedback : implements low-level and high-level interface to force-feedback systems (LIE from Immersion Corp. and Phantom from Sensable Technologies)
• Simulation : implements a surgical simulator
