News

Version 1.0 is released:

Better performance and results.
Python binding.
Easier to build: removed many of the dependencies.
Software renderer: OpenGL is no longer required, the project can now be built on gui-less servers without any problems.
Added low resolution segmentation model for GPUs with low memory.

Installation

Both Linux and Windows are supported.

Usage

For Python follow the Python guide
For running the applications follow the applications guide.
For using the library's C++ interface, please take a look at the Doxygen generated documentation.
