Abstract
The dpVision (data processing for vision) software framework offers a flexible, open source platform for implementing and testing various data and image processing algorithms. It handles multimodal data across various formats and dimensions, acquired with different imaging techniques like 3D scanning or medical imaging. Support for various object types within a common space enables efficient multimodal image processing and algorithm testing, addressing the limitations of existing solutions. At its core, dpVision is a modular 3D viewer/editor for visualizing and editing imaging data, extendable through plugins to meet specific requirements. One of dpVision’s key features is transformational flexibility, allowing nearly unlimited nesting of transformations for advanced scene manipulation. Special emphasis is placed on optimizing performance for large datasets, ensuring both memory and processing efficiency. Application examples presented include scanning and visualizing cultural artifacts, orthodontics, and forensic imaging.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
