HDILib: High Dimensional Inspector Library

Slimmed-down fork of HDILib: mainly no external dependencies like FLANN, that have to be compiled. To be compatible with the HDILib, you may want to include nanoflann, which is already present in hdi/data/nano_flann.h.

HDILib is a library for the scalable analysis of large and high-dimensional data. It contains scalable manifold-learning algorithms, visualizations and visual-analytics frameworks. HDILib is implemented in C++, OpenGL and JavaScript. It is developed within a joint collaboration between the Computer Graphics & Visualization group at the Delft University of Technology and the Division of Image Processing (LKEB) at the Leiden Medical Center.

Authors

  • Nicola Pezzotti initiated the HDI project, developed the A-tSNE and HSNE algorithms and implemented most of the visualizations and frameworks.
  • Thomas Höllt ported the library to MacOS.

Used

HDI is used in the following projects:

  • Cytosplore: interactive system for understanding how the immune system works
  • Brainscope: web portal for fast, interactive visual exploration of the Allen Atlases of the adult and developing human brain transcriptome
  • DeepEyes: progressive analytics system for designing deep neural networks

Building

GIT Cloning

When cloning the repo be aware that it includes submodules. With the latest git versions you should use the following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/alxvth/HDILibSlim.git

Dependencies

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu 16.04 you can build and install HDI by running the following commands

./scripts/install-dependencies.sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j 8
sudo make install

Windows

On Windows use CMake and set a custom_install_path

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="custom_install_path"

Applications

A suite of command line and visualization applications is available in the original High Dimensional Inspector repository.
