Test Data

There is no new test data available, you can still use the one from the 2020.09 release.

A few small test projects are now included in the source code, these are not included in the binary releases.

Reproducibility

The windows release was built using the [open_iA superbuild], the library versions used are the defaults as in the 2024.9 tag.
The linux flatpak is built using this manifest: at.zfp.openia.json.

open_iA 2023.04

Bugfix release:

• Transfer functions: Fix resetting, loading from project files
• Volume Rendering: adjust sample distance now on by default (more interactive rendering for large volumes)
• Fix viewing of geometric objects
• VR/ImNDT: Fix shutdown / enable restarting, fix potential crash on shutdown
• Fix slicer position display
• Fix editing spacing of dataset
• Slicer measurements now end on second 'm' press as well, not only on ESC
• prebuilt-binary-specific:
  • Using VTK 9.1 fixes / works around OpenVR problems with VTK 9.2.x
  • Using DirectML instead of CUDA GPU backend fixes onnx runtime based AI segmentation

Prebuilt Windows binaries are attached below. Again, there is a version including the Astra toolbox (and therefore including CUDA), which is significantly larger; our AI module this time uses DirectML, so it is included in the "standard" version.

A linux version is available in our flatpak repository. Note that due to flatpak restrictions, this does not include the VR modules as well as the ASTRA reconstruction.

Should you encounter any issues, or should you have any suggestions for improvements, let us know in the issue tracker!

As test datasets, you can use those from the 2020.09 release.

open_iA 2023.02

Highlights:

• New module for remote collaboration, enabling web clients to view the same data as shown in open_iA.
• Reworked, more generic dataset interface for a broader range (and better future support) of multiple dataset types.
• Theme (bright/dark) improvements, possibility to adapt to system theme.

Full changelog: 2022.06...2023.02

Portable, pre-built binaries for Windows are attached below (the Astra module is only available in the larger "-CUDA" version). Just extract the .zip file, and execute open_iA.exe.

A linux version is also available in our flatpak repository.

Should you encounter any issues, or should you have any suggestions for improvements, let us know in the issue tracker!
Note that in the prebuilt binaries provided below, a few modules are dysfunctional: the modules using virtual reality (ImNDT, XVRA) do not work properly due to issues with the used VTK version; and in the AI module, GPU acceleration does not work due to incompatibilities between onnx runtime and CUDA. Please use the 2023.04 binaries above in which these and other problems are fixed!

open_iA 2020.01

Minor new features (e.g. improved curved fibre analysis in FIAKER) and some bugfixes.
For more details, please refer to the commit log.

Note on the attached files: We provide a Windows installer (.exe) which can both be run as administrator or as normal user (as normal user, one has to select a folder where one has write access, in place of the pre-filled subfolder of the Programs folder). A "portable" version of the Windows excutables is also available (.zip); simply extract the archive, and execute the extracted open_iA.exe - it requires no installation. For linux we provide a self-extracting archive (.sh) built on Ubuntu 18.04, which should also run on similar/newer Linux distributions.

open_iA 2019.12

Many fixes and some new features!

We now provide zip-archives which contain the Windows excutables; simply extract and execute the open_iA.exe contained in them, it requires no installation. We also provide SHA-512 hash sums for our pre-built binaries.

Due to negligible demand for the compatibility versions (requiring OpenGL version << 3.2) , we have dropped the pre-built binaries for these. The source still supports building such a version; should you require pre-built binaries, or encounter any other issues with this release, please contact us via the issue tracker!
