We are very pleased to announce the release of tomviz 0.7.0 (article on Opensource.com with some background). This release features a number of improvements, including:

Tools for tomographic reconstruction

Tilt series alignment tool: zoom to region for alignment

Determine tilt axis tool

Weighted back projection, direct Fourier, and algebraic reconstructions

Background subtraction tool

Default animation (just press the play button)

Random particles sample Dataset

Gaussian, Laplace and Sobel filters

Autosaves

ITK integration for advanced data processing

We hosted Robert Hovden and Yi Jiang at a small hackathon yesterday, and had a productive day testing features, squashing bugs, and mapping out priorities over the next few months. Featured Visualization shown above by Yi Jiang: nanoparticles and mesoscale materials are simulated using the tomviz "Random Particle" generator. Features within the structure span all length scales.

The tomviz project is developed as part of a collaboration between Kitware and Cornell University under DOE Office of Science contract DE-SC0011385. This is a community project, and we are very pleased to take input and contributions from all in the community.
