MeshLab

MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. It also supports processing of raw data produced with 3D digitization tools/devices, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, texturing and converting this kind of models.

3DHOP

3DHOP (3D Heritage Online Presenter) is an advanced solution for easy publishing of 3D content on the web. This free tool allows the interactive visualization of 3D models directly inside HTML pages and the streaming of multiresolution meshes over HTTP, supporting the exploration of very large high-resolution 3D models. It is based on WebGL, SpiderGL and Nexus technologies, and can run on common browsers without the need for plugins.

The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library (VCG for short) is a open source portable C++ templated library for manipulation, processing and displaying with OpenGL of triangle meshes. The library, composed by more than 150k lines of code, is released under the GPL license, and it is the base of most of the software tools of the Visual Computing Lab

TagLab

TagLab is an AI-powered annotation tool to speed up human labeling and statistics extraction from ortho-maps. Although designed to work on coral reef maps, it can be easily customized for other tasks, such as the labeling of medical or archaeological visual information.

Nexus

Nexus is a software package for creation and visualization of a batched multiresolution mesh structure. The main goal of such data structure is to provide efficient multiresolution visualization of huge triangle meshes or point-clouds. Main features of this library are: out-of-core interactive visualization, multiple instancing of models, http streaming, compression, color per vertex, opensg Nexus node.

HexaLab

HexaLab is a WebGL application for real time visualization, exploration and assessment of hexahedral meshes. This visualization tool targets both users and scholars. Practitioners who employ hexmeshes for Finite Element Analysis, can readily check mesh quality and assess its usability for simulation. Researchers involved in mesh generation may use HexaLab to perform a detailed analysis of the mesh structure, isolating weak points and testing new solutions to improve on the state of the art and generate high quality images. The system also offers immediate access to a repository containing all the publicly available meshes produced with the most recent techniques for hex mesh generation.

Corto

Corto is a library for compression and decompression meshes and point clouds (C++ and Javascript). Corto supports point clouds and meshes with per vertex attributes: normals, colors, texture coordinates and custom attributes.The main focus of this work is on decompression speed, see performances, both for C++ lib and javascript, while still providing good compression rates.

MeshLabJS

A javascript-based, run-in-browser, mesh processing tool. Inspired by the well known MeshLab is built using using the C++ vcg library for all the mesh processing tasks and compiled into asm.js using emscripten. The fastest way to look, inspect, process and convert a 3D model without installing any app; directly in your browser. Source code available on GitHub.

PhotoCloud

PhotoCloud is a real-time client-server system for interactive visualization and exploration of large datasets comprising calibrated 2D photographs of a scene and a 3D description of the scene. It includes a compact image browser and a multiresolution model renderer. Users can navigate the 2D and 3D spaces with smooth, integrated, seamless transitions between them.

SpiderGL

SpiderGL is a JavaScript 3D Graphics library which relies on WebGL for realtime rendering. SpiderGL provides typical structures and algorithms for realtime rendering to developers of 3D graphics web application,withoutforcingthem to comply with some specific paradigm (i.e. it is not a scene graph) nor preventing low level access to the underlying WebGL graphics layer.

RTI Viewer

The RTIViewer allows to view and explore Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) files at very high resolution (encoded by means of the following formats: Polynomial Texture Maps, Hemispherical Harmonics Map, and Multi-View RTI). RTIViewer render image files stored on your local file system, and remote files through HTTP.

QuteMol

QuteMol is an open source (GPL), interactive, high quality molecular visualization system. QuteMol exploits the current GPU capabilites through OpenGL shaders to offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and an easier understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large molecules or complex proteins.

Metro

Metro is a tool designed to evaluate the difference between two triangular meshes. Metro adopts an approximated approach based on surface sampling and point-to-surface distance computation. The tool has been widely used in the surface simplification research community (more than 500 citations accordng to google scolar ).
