Case Study: KehlCo Scientific Visualization Systems achieves rapid development of custom imaging software with Rogue Wave Software's PV-WAVE

KehlCo Scientific Visualization Systems Applies PV-WAVE to Rapid Development of Custom Imaging Software

KehlCo Scientific Visualization Systems, a developer of software and consulting services for processing, analyzing and visualizing medical and industrial imaging (CT, MRI, down-hole NMR and more), needed a fast, portable way to build custom, nondestructive imaging analysis tools for clients across research and petroleum industries. To meet this need KehlCo adopted PV-WAVE from Rogue Wave Software as the core development and visualization engine to deliver GUI-driven analysis on Unix, Windows and other platforms.

Using PV-WAVE (including its visual exploration tools/PV-WAVE Navigator) Rogue Wave Software enabled KehlCo to add point-and-click functions—arbitrary slicing, axial alignment, morphology filters, CT beam-hardening correction, statistics and 2D/3D rendering—so clients can compute physical properties in minutes. The result: development cycles shortened dramatically (Kehl reports computations that once took two weeks now take five minutes, a 70–80% speedup), improved portability across systems, higher client productivity and lower support costs, backed by responsive Rogue Wave Software technical support.
