A free visual programming-based image analysis development environment for medical imaging applications called NeatVision was developed to provide high-level access to a wide range of image processing algorithms through a well-defined, easy-to-use graphical interface. The system contains over 300 image manipulation, processing, and analysis algorithms. For more advanced users, an upgrade path is provided to extend the core library with use of the developer's interface, giving users access to additional plug-in features, automatic source code generation, compilation with full error feedback, and dynamic algorithm updates. NeatVision was designed to allow users at all levels of expertise to focus on the computer vision design task for computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) applications rather than the subtleties of a particular programming language. The environment allows the designers of image analysis-based CAD techniques to implement their ideas in a dynamic and straightforward manner. Both NeatVision standard and developer's versions can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet and can run on a variety of computer platforms.
开发了一种名为NeatVision的基于视觉编程的免费图像分析开发环境，用于医学成像应用，通过定义良好、易于使用的图形界面提供对各种图像处理算法的高级访问。该系统包含300多种图像操作、处理和分析算法。对于更高级的用户，提供了升级路径，可通过开发者界面扩展核心库，让用户能够使用额外的插件功能、自动生成源代码、进行带有完整错误反馈的编译以及动态算法更新。NeatVision旨在让各级专业知识水平的用户专注于计算机辅助诊断（CAD）应用的计算机视觉设计任务，而非特定编程语言的细节。该环境允许基于图像分析的CAD技术的设计者以动态且直接的方式实现他们的想法。NeatVision的标准版本和开发者版本均可从互联网上免费下载，并可在多种计算机平台上运行。
