Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization with Python, VTK, and ParaView
نویسنده
چکیده
VTK and ParaView are leading software packages for data analysis and visualization. Since their early years, Python has played an important role in each package. In many use cases, VTK and ParaView serve as modules used by Python applications. In other use cases, Python modules are used to generate visualization components within VTK. In this paper, we provide an overview of Python integration in VTK and ParaView and give some concrete examples of usage. We also provide a roadmap for additional Python integration in VTK and ParaView in the future.

matVTK - 3D Visualization for MATLAB
The rapid and flexible visualization of large amounts of complex data has become a crucial part in medical image analysis. In recent years the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) has evolved as the de-facto standard for open-source medical data visualization. It features a clean design based on a data flow paradigm, which the existing wrappers for VTK (Python, Tcl/Tk, Simulink) closely follow. This all...
متن کاملUsing VisTrails and Provenance for Teaching Scientific Visualization
Over the last 20 years, visualization courses have been developed and offered at universities around the world. Many of these courses use established visualization libraries and tools (e.g. VTK, ParaView, AVS, VisIt) as a way to provide students a hands-on experience, allowing them to prototype and explore different visualization techniques. In this paper, we describe our experiences using VisT...
متن کاملPCL and ParaView - Connecting the dots
We introduce a novel open-source framework for analyzing and exploring point cloud datasets and algorithms. This is done by integrating the Point Cloud Library (PCL) within ParaView, a parallel scientific visualization tool. In particular, we demonstrate that by wrapping PCL algorithms as VTK1 filters, we can leverage PCL’s functionality in an interactive, easy-to-use manner within ParaView. Th...
