Kitware has just announced an impressive $1.07 Million Grant from the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) to improve the Insight Segmentation & Registration Toolkit (ITK). ITK began around 10 years ago, and has quickly become one of the key architectures in designing image processing tools for the biomedical community. This new grant will continue the trend and add several new features.
As part of its effort, Kitware will also modernize ITK’s collaborative software development infrastructure and software engineering processes. This work will extend Kitware’s web-based tools for collaborative development to support the development and distribution of modular extensions to ITK. These extensions will offer specialized features for targeted applications, such as video processing for endoscopy applications, blur reduction algorithms for microscopy applications, and data and trial management capabilities for clinical research organizations.
Congratulations to KitWare & the ITK Team!
