MITK 2.3.1 Key changes from 2.3.0
(1) NEW mitkVisualization2 module, currently contains the following scene classes for a variety of volume ray casting works:
mitkIsosurfaceVRScene: A 3D scene to display isosurfaces from volume datasets. Optimized for multicore CPU.
mitkGLSLIsosurfaceVRScene: A 3D scene to display isosurfaces from volume datasets. Accelerated with the GLSL interface.
mitkGLSLMIPVRScene: A 3D scene for MIP Rendering from volume datasets. Accelerated with the GLSL interface.
mitkGLSLShadedVRScene: A 3D scene for shaded semi-transparent rendering from volume datasets. Accelerated with the GLSL interface.
This module will be extended in the future as an alternative to the old mitkVisualization module.
(2) NEW mitkSTLReader in mitkCommon: A reader class for the mesh files of STL type.
(3) NEW mitkNeighborhood in mitkCommon: A light-weight container object for storing an N-dimensional neighborhood of values.
(4) NEW mitkNeumannBoundary in mitkCommon: A function object that determines a neighborhood of values at an image boundary according to a Neumann boundary condition where first, upwind derivatives on the boundary are zero. This is a useful condition in solving some classes of differential equations.
(5) NEW support for 64 bit environments.
