open_iA: A Framework for Analyzing Industrial Computed Tomography Data

The open source software open_iA is presented, which facilitates non-destructive testing tasks such as feature extraction, quantification and visualization involving industrial computed tomography datasets. open_iA provides a general framework for visualizing and processing volumetric datasets, including a 3D view, axis-aligned slicers, as well as a wide variety of image processing algorithms for pre-processing of the data for the subsequent analysis. Pluggable modules provide tailored analysis tools for specific scenarios. In this work the structure of the tool open_iA itself and a selection of its modules are outlined.
