[Insight-users] Difference between ITK and VTK

[Jayme Kosior]

Hello,

What is the fundamental difference between ITK and VTK?

It seems like you could implement image processing algorithms using the 
pipeline structure in both.  What makes them different?  Is one better 
at certain types of image processing operations than the other?

I'm thinking more in terms of writing say a custom image filter.  Say 
that this filter enhances the image quality somehow.  You would want to 
process the image data using the filter, and then display the filtered 
data.

Would it be better to use the ITK or the VTK framework to implement the 
filter algorithm?

Thank you for your time.
