The ITK Software Guide is divided into two books. This first book provides a general introduction to ITK including instructions for building and installing ITK; introduces the general architecture and design as well as basic system concepts; and explains how to create your own classes, extend the system, and be an active participant in the open-source ITK community. This book is the companion to The ITK Software Guide Book 2: Design and Functionality. ITK is an open-source, cross-platform software toolkit that provides an extensive suite of tools for image analysis. For over a decade, researchers and developers around the world have processed their MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET, fluoroscopy, and microscopy data with ITK. Developed through extreme programming methodologies, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional data.

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities. ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of petascale size as well as on laptops for smaller data, has become an integral tool in many national laboratories, universities and industry, and has won several awards related to high performance computation. ParaView is open-source (BSD licensed, commercial software friendly). As with any of successful open-source project, ParaView is supported by an active user and developer community.

CMake is an open-source build tool enabling collaboration among software developers working on distinct platforms by using a common build specification to drive their native build tools. Mastering CMake explains how to use the CMake suite of tools, including CTest and CPack, to develop, build, test, and package software for distribution. It covers use of the command-line and GUI tools on Linux (UNIX), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. This book also contains a guide for converting projects to CMake and writing CMake code to specify build rules to compile sources, create static and shared libraries, link executables, run custom commands, run tests, and install artifacts. It also includes a copy of key portions of the official reference documentation.
