About Insight Toolkit (ITK)
Welcome to the Insight Toolkit (ITK). ITK 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 builds on a proven, spatially-oriented architecture for processing, segmentation, and registration of scientific images in two, three, or more dimensions. Establish a foundation for future, reproducible research. Create a repository of fundamental algorithms. Develop a platform for advanced product development. Support commercial application of the technology. Create conventions for future work. Support education in scientific image analysis. Grow a self-sustaining community of software users and developers. ITK is one of the largest and earliest open source projects within the scientific community. We set out to build a great image analysis tool that serves a broad range of applications and environments.
