Visualization Toolkit 5.0.3
Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing. more>>
Professional support and products for VTK are provided by Kitware, Inc. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as implicit modelling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. In addition, dozens of imaging algorithms have been directly integrated to allow the user to mix 2D imaging / 3D graphics algorithms and data.
The design and implementation of the library has been strongly influenced by object-oriented principles. VTK has been installed and tested on nearly every Unix-based platform, PCs (Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP), and Mac OSX Jaguar or later.
Many resources exist to help you utilize the full potential of VTK in your application area. These resources include:

Mimas Toolkit 2.1
Mimas Toolkit is a C++ computer vision toolkit. more>>
Mimas Toolkit project also includes many implementations of traditional algorithms such as Canny. It was developed for GNU/Linux but as the GUI is largely separate, porting to other platforms should be straightforward.
Mimas was originally conceived as a platform for real-time machine vision research. Its aim was and still is to reduce the turnaround time of new research into the application workspace. It is written in C++ and is released in source code form subject to the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Mimas has been used to build a number of vision systems including for two European Union sponsored projects, namely MINIMAN (completed in 2002) and MiCRoN (expected to complete in the 3rd quarter of 2005). Mimas is also being used to build a number of customised vision solutions for academia and industry. As such, if you do require a vision-based solution then please contact the authors of this software.
Main features:
- generic image class (greylevel and colour)
- low level image processing
- frequency domain processing
- variety of recognition methods
- variety of tracking methods
- active contours
- comprehensive matrix library
- variety of statistical operations
- associative neural network
- multi-layer perceptrons ANN
- image capture
- various example interfaces
Mimas is designed to be platform independent from the ground-up. Hence a user interface is not built-in. Rather Mimas acts as the engine of a vision system. Since it is written in C++, we recommend that you use the GPL-ed version of the cross-platform Qt toolkit or the Mozilla XP toolkit for building user interfaces.
Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit 0.6
Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit aims at supporting the development of leading-edge medical imaging software. more>>
Main features:
- multiple, consistent views on the same data. For example, when you have three orthogonal 2D-views and a 3D view and data consisting of a green surface, the surface will be visible and green in all views (as contour lines in 2D, as a surface in 3D), and when you move the surface, it will move in all views. When you try to realize this with basic vtk, you will need to coordinate the position/orientation/color/... of all the views somewhere in your program - exactly this can mitk do for you.
- interactions that create and/or modify data (not only actors as in basic vtk)
- complex interactions with multiple states, e.g., for interaction with active contours
- undo/redo of interactions
- organization of data objects in a tree at run-time, e.g., to represent logical dependencies (e.g., a heart cavity is a part of the heart) or to control the rendering process
- additional properties of arbitrary type can be assigned to data objects contained in the data tree
- visualization and interaction with 3D+t data (basic vtk can handle only 3D data and itk is not for visualization and interaction)
- although mitk is mainly a toolkit and not an application, it offers some support on the application-level, e.g, for structured combination of modules (so-called functionalities), e.g., for combining and switching between one functionality for segmentation and another for registration.
Enhancements:
- New functionalities: IsoSurface, ViewInitialization and Measurement.
- Support for ITK 2.4-2.8, VTK 4.4 and 5.0.
- Lots of bugfixes and improvements, e.g. interaction for rotatable slices.
Optimization Algorithm Toolkit 1.3
Optimization Algorithm Toolkit is a workbench and toolkit for developing, evaluating, and playing with optimization algorithms. more>>
The goal of this project is to deliver obscure-and-prevalent, old-and-new optimization algorithms from research literature to both research scientists and algorithm practitioners alike. Algorithms include biologically inspired approaches such as evolutionary algorithms (genetic algorithms), swarm algorithms (ants and particle swarm), and immune system algorithms.
Also included are more conventional approaches such as approaches inspired by physics including simulated annealing and extremal optimization. Problem domains include numerical function optimization, traveling salesman problems, and protein folding all with many standard benchmark instances taken from research literature.
A user-friendly graphical interface is provided to rapidly evaluate and compare algorithm and problem configurations, visualize algorithm behavior, and graph algorithm performance over time. A robust, modular, and extensible framework underlies the platform to facilitate the easy addition and modification of algorithms, addition of new problem domains and problem instances as well as facilitate more advanced algorithm experimentation.
The algorithm implementations are extensible and easily support modification and applicaition to varied problem domains. Please report any bugs, feature requests or include your own algorithms by accessing the services on the project home website. This is an open source project (released under the GPL) so the source code is available. The project was compiled with Java 1.5 (update 9).
Enhancements:
- This release includes many framework and graphical interface fixes, as well as a few new algorithms to play with.
Seismic Toolkit 0.69a
Seismic Toolkit is a tool for processing and displaying seismic signal data in a graphical interface. more>>

Animation fade-loop 1.02
Animation fade-loop is a plugin for GIMP that can convert an animation to make it look better when played in a continuous loop. more>>
"This plug-in copies an animation frame by frame and adds a cross-fade effect at the end so that the last frame blends seamlessly back to the first.
Note that because of the resulting overlap, the output animation is [fade_length] frames shorter than the input. The currently loaded gimp image should be the first frame of the input animation.
SJPT: Simple Java Parsing Toolkit
SJPT: Simple Java Parsing Toolkit is a simple Java parser toolkit. more>>
The toolkit also supports generating Java parsers for all the bottom-up parsing methods, based on a CUP definition (similar to Yacc and CUP, but not restricted to LALR parsers only). I worked alone on this project for the laboratory on Compilers.
SJPT is free software under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Dojo Toolkit 0.3.0
Dojo is the Open Source JavaScript toolkit that helps you build serious applications in less time. more>>
Dojo lets you prototype interactive widgets quickly, animate transitions, and build Ajax requests with the most powerful and easiest to use abstractions available. These capabilities are built on top of a lightweight packaging system, so you never have to figure out which order to request script files in again.
Dojos package system and optional build tools help you develop quickly and optimize transparently.
Dojo also packs an easy to use widget system. From prototype to deployment, Dojo widgets are HTML and CSS all the way. Best of all, since Dojo is portable JavaScript to the core, your widgets can be portable between HTML, SVG, and whatever else comes down the pike.
