Volkit: A Performance-Portable Computer Vision Library for 3D Volumetric Data

19 Mar 2022  ·  Stefan Zellmann, Giovanni Aguirre, Jürgen P. Schulze ·

We present volkit, an open source library with high performance implementations of image manipulation and computer vision algorithms that focus on 3D volumetric representations. Volkit implements a cross-platform, performance-portable API targeting both CPUs and GPUs that defers data and resource movement and hides them from the application developer using a managed API. We use volkit to process medical and simulation data that is rendered in VR and consequently integrated the library into the C++ virtual reality software CalVR. The paper presents case studies and performance results and by that demonstrates the library's effectiveness and the efficiency of this approach.
