Package: itk-core
itk-coreITK is an open-source, cross-platform library that provides developers with an extensive suite of software tools for image analysis. Developed through extreme programming methodologies, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional scientific images.This package contain the toolkit framework used by other modules. There are common base classes for data objects and process objects, basic data structures such as Image, Mesh, QuadEdgeMesh, and SpatialObjects, and common functionality for operations such as finite differences, image adaptors, or image transforms.ITK: The Insight ToolkitC++PythonLinuxmacOSWindowsLinux (Code coverage)LinksHomepageDownloadDiscussionSoftware GuideHelpExamplesIssue trackingSubmit a patchAboutThe Insight Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for
N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration.
Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying data found in a
digitally sampled representation. Typically the sampled representation is an
image acquired from such medical instrumentation as CT or MRI scanners.
Registration is the task of aligning or developing correspondences between
data. For example, in the medical environment, a CT scan may be aligned with a
MRI scan in order to combine the information contained in both.The ITK project uses anopen governance modeland is fiscally sponsored byNumFOCUS. Consider making
