Abstract

A data-, machine-, and application-independent software system called 3DVIEWNIX has been developed and is maintained on an ongoing basis by the Medical Image Processing Group. It is aimed at serving the needs of biomedical visualization researchers as well as end users. Unlike existing visualization packages, 3DVIEWNIX is not designed around a fixed methodology or set of methods providing a fixed set of tools. It incorporates the basic imaging transforms common to most visualization and analysis methods and provides a facility to combine them in meaningful ways. The result is a powerful exploratory environment that not only provides the commonly used standard tools but also an immense variety of others. In addition to visualization, it incorporates a variety of unique tools for multidimensional image analysis. Its design is mostly image data dimensionality independent to make it just as convenient to analyze 2-D and 3-D data as it is to analyze 4-D and higher-dimensional data. It is based on UNIX, C, X Window and our own multidimensional generalization of the 2-D ACR-NEMA standards for image data representation.
