The goal of this INCIDE project was to develop a KNIME extension for visualizing 3D images using volume rendering.

This extension is based on the open source library Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and runs on all major systems without the need for the user to first compile VTK by hand. So far, only direct volume rendering has been implemented. Further extensions like using surface extraction for rendering are easily possible, or combinations of mutliple input images (i.e. segment overlays).

 In order to meet these requirements, the project was designed in a classical Model View Controller approach, separating the main components for easy reusability. Moreover, it is designed as a standalone plugin for the OSGi framework, so that the renderer can easily be extended to work with different projects or to include more Image Libraries.
