An Introduction to the Range Image Toolkit (RITK) 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Range Image Toolkit (RITK). This document provides a brief 
description of the project.


Introduction:

What is RITK? RITK is a software toolkit for the development of applications 
that rely on range imaging. The toolkit is developed at the 
Pattern Recognition Lab, University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.

Technical Summary:

RITK provides functionality for acquisition, playback, preprocessing and 
visualization of three-dimensional point clouds. RITK is implemented in C++. 

Build Environment: Insight uses the CMake (cross-platform make) build 
environment. CMake uses configure and make on Unix and generates projects and 
workspaces in the windows environment.

Examples: A great way to learn about RITK is to see how it is used. There are 
several plugin examples distributed with the RITK plugins package. The source 
code is available.

Data: Data is available from the authors listed below.
