Visere 6

Visere 6, now available as a cross-platform product (Linux, Mac and Windows), is based on two executables, three dynamic libraries modules, and an unlimited number of plug-ins.

The two executables are: the GUI version (Visere) and the command-line (vsrcmd).

The three dynamic libraries modules are part of Visere and represent the main Visere features. Visere can be started in three different modes: 1D, 2D or 3D. This affects how data is displayed on the screen. Clearly, in 3D you can open up a 2D image, but it will be opened as a 3D data representation.

Visere Plug-Ins can implement functions from VPISDK for any of the three Visere modes ( 1D, 2D, 3D ). Visere will only call plug-ins functions that are developed for the mode Visere is started in. For example, if Visere is started in 2D mode, then only 2D functions are loaded. Visere Plug-Ins use ViserePlugInSDK (VPISDK).

The command-line vsrcmd application loads all plug-ins, but only non-GUI functions from VPISDK are called.

We developed a Photoshop extension SDK called vsrPp_sdk. You can use this SDK in your application to run almost any Photoshop filter, and unlike other Photoshop hosts, this is not a separate application, but you can integrate these features in your own application (see our blog entry).

For Photoshop users, we developed a Medical plug-in package for windows (32bit and 64bit). Momentarily, the package works only for gray-scale images and it contains the following filters: Median, ContrastStretch, Vignetting, Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Denoise X-Ray, UnsharpMasking, GaussianSmoothing and AQua Denoise.
