ITK 5.3 Release Candidate 2 Release Notes

We are happy to announce the Insight Toolkit (ITK) 5.3 Release Candidate 2 is available for testing! 🎉 ITK is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration.

ITK 5.3 is a feature release that accelerates performance, provides new segmentation and shape analysis algorithms, and makes over 200 more improvements. For more information about performance improvements, see the 5.3 RC 1 Release Notes.

ITK 5.3 RC 2 highlights a new remote module, ITKGrowCut, which segments a 3D image from user-provided seeds. This method was popularized by 3D Slicer and was improved for inclusion in Seg3D with support from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under grant numbers P41 GM103545 and R24 GM136986. This module can also be scripted in Python through a package installed with:

pip install itk-growcut
