Abstract:
OpenVL is a modular, extensible, and high performance library for handling
volumetric datasets. It provides a standard, uniform, and easy to use API for
accessing volumetric data. It allows the volumetric data to be laid out in different ways to optimize
memory usage and speed. It supports reading/writing of volumetric
data from/to files in different formats using plugins. It provides a framework for implementing
various algorithms as plugins that can be easily incorporated into user applications. The plugins
are implemented as shared libraries which can be dynamically loaded as needed. OpenVL
is developed openly and is a free software available on the web.
